Hutton Blue Clay

Linnean Weaves FabricSAF0287-06

Hutton Blue Clay is a softly patterned woven fabric with a pale blue-grey ground and a fine, all-over vertical motif. The colour reads cool and airy, with just enough contrast in the weave to give the surface movement.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Linnean Weaves collection has a compact repeating pattern that sits neatly across the cloth, creating a subtle, tactile rhythm rather than a bold statement. The visible palette is a very light blue-grey set against a warm off-white base, which keeps the design feeling fresh and low-key. At 512 gsm, it has the substance expected of an upholstery fabric, while the 139.5 cm usable width makes it practical for larger projects. The pattern repeat measures 4.8 cm vertically and 3 cm horizontally, so the small-scale motif will stay pleasantly consistent over seating and cushions.

How to use it

Use this shade where you want texture without heaviness: it works well on tailored upholstery, dining chairs, and loose cushions. Its cool, misty tone pairs especially well with pale oak, chalk white, and deeper blue accents.

A cool, understated weave that keeps a room light and quietly textural.

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