Josette Indigo/Taupe

Name: Josette Indigo/Taupe
Brand: Sanderson
SKU: SAF0111-02

Josette in Indigo/Taupe has a crisp country-house feel, with blue toile-style figures and trees set against a warm taupe ground. The design reads airy and classical, with the indigo drawing the eye without overpowering the soft background.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Country House Fabrics collection is a textile fabric with a usable width of 139 cm and a weight of 260 gsm, making it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The pattern repeat is generous at 43.5 cm vertically and 69 cm horizontally, which supports the scenic, storybook layout visible in the swatch. In this colourway, the indigo print sits on a pale taupe base, giving the design a gentle contrast rather than a hard navy edge. The finish appears dry and cloth-like rather than glossy, so the blue motifs feel slightly softened and traditional.

How to use it

Use it on a statement armchair, curtains, or a chaise where the indigo detail can be seen from a distance. It works especially well with chalky whites, weathered wood, and deep blue accents to keep the taupe ground feeling light.

Pair with painted timber and aged brass for a refined country-house look.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Josette Indigo/Taupe without fighting it. 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.
