Chika Blue

Chika Blue shows a small chevron weave in a soft denim-blue tone, lifted by pale neutral threads that give the surface a gently mottled look. The pattern reads crisp and orderly in the close-up, with a relaxed, textural finish.

About this fabric

This Sanderson Home Fabrics textile is a substantial 385 gsm fabric with a usable width of 140 cm and a standard length of 40 m, making it well suited to furnishing projects that need body and presence. The weave forms a neat herringbone-like chevron, with a 5.5 cm horizontal repeat and no vertical repeat, so the pattern feels steady rather than busy. In this colourway, the blue sits in a softened denim range rather than a bright navy, and the lighter yarns break it up with a washed, slightly weathered effect. The overall impression is cool, calm and tactile, with enough density to read as a serious upholstery cloth.

How to use it

Pair this muted blue with oak, putty, and stone finishes for a quietly tailored room. It works especially well on a sofa, dining chairs or a window seat where the small-scale chevron can add texture without dominating.

Use on a tailored armchair or bench to bring a calm, textured blue without feeling too formal.

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