Kuba 1 shows a crisp geometric motif in softened teal blue, pale grey and misty white. The design reads airy and contemporary, with the pattern softened by the fabric’s lightly textured surface.

About this fabric

This fabric from Titley & Marr’s African Skies collection has no performance features noted, so its appeal lies in the visual pattern and colour. The large repeating geometric forms are drawn in soft teal blue, powdery grey and chalky white, giving the swatch a cool, washed effect rather than a sharp contrast. The surface looks like a woven textile with a gentle linen-like texture, which helps the bolder motif feel relaxed and approachable. In this colourway the blues are muted and slightly coastal, making the pattern feel lighter and less dense across the cloth.

How to use it

Use Kuba 1 where you want pattern without heaviness: it would lift a seat, ottoman or Roman blind with its cool teal-grey palette. It works especially well alongside pale oak, white-painted trim and quiet blue accents.

A breezy large-scale geometric in cool teal and grey-blue, ideal for a fresh contemporary scheme.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kuba 1 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.
