Dabu Indigo

Name: Dabu Indigo
Brand: Sanderson
SKU: SAF0444-03

Dabu Indigo pairs a muted indigo-blue ground with a crisp ivory trailing motif, giving the design a calm, tailored look with strong contrast. The small repeating pattern reads neatly across the cloth and feels graphic rather than busy.

About this fabric

This Sanderson Curios Weaves fabric is a substantial cloth at 555 gsm, with a usable width of 139 cm and a repeat of 22.5 cm vertically by 23 cm horizontally. The weave appears firm and dense, which supports the clear edge of the ivory motifs against the blue ground. In this colourway, the indigo sits in a cool, slightly softened register rather than a bright navy, so the surface feels composed and grounded. The light motif detail lifts the pattern without overpowering the base colour, making the overall effect elegant and restrained.

How to use it

Use it on an upholstered accent chair, bench or headboard where the indigo ground can bring depth without feeling heavy. It would also sit well with pale woods, chalky paint colours and warm neutrals that let the ivory motif stand out.

A cool indigo ground with crisp ivory motifs gives this woven pattern a refined, versatile look.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Dabu Indigo 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.
