Truffle Blue Clay

Pinetum Prints FabricSAF0406-05

Truffle Blue Clay has a gentle, weathered blue look with a fine, all-over botanical trail. The small-scale pattern reads softly from a distance and feels calm rather than busy.

About this fabric

Truffle Blue Clay is a 252gsm fabric with a usable width of 137cm and a 20cm vertical by 30cm horizontal pattern repeat, making it a versatile mid-weight textile. The swatch shows a pale, cool blue ground with a chalky, clay-like softness, lifted by a tiny stippled motif that creates a delicate, hand-drawn feel. At 38 threads per cm, the cloth appears closely woven and neatly detailed, with the pattern sitting lightly on the surface rather than looking bold or high-contrast. It has an easy, airy character that suits both upholstery and window treatments where a restrained decorative finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use this muted blue in rooms that need a quiet, fresh note rather than a strong accent. It works especially well with pale woods, stone, and soft whites, where its cool tone can stay light and understated.

A soft, cool-toned blue that brings quiet pattern without overpowering a room.

Pairs well with

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