Malvolio in Blue is a dark, atmospheric colourway with a softly mottled surface and a low, matte sheen. The shade reads as a smoky blue-black rather than a bright navy, giving it a grounded, tailored feel.

About this fabric

This fabric is woven in 100% polyester and has a substantial 508 gsm handle, which supports its use for curtains, blinds and upholstery. The swatch shows a dense, compact texture with subtle tonal movement across the surface, creating a quiet heathered effect rather than a flat solid. Its deep blue tone has cool charcoal undertones, so it feels refined and slightly shadowed in the light. With a Martindale rating of 70,000, it is a practical choice where durability matters, while the 148 cm width offers generous coverage for larger furnishing projects. It is dry clean only and should not be ironed.

How to use it

Use this blue on a sofa, dining chair or upholstered headboard to introduce depth without high contrast. It also works well for lined curtains or Roman blinds where the dark, softly faded tone can frame a room with a more restrained finish.

A moody blue with a softly brushed look, ideal for adding depth to tailored furniture.

Pairs well with

Malvolio blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
