Melton French Navy melton

Name: Melton French Navy melton
Brand: Titley & Marr

Melton in French Navy is a rich, shadowy blue with a clean, even surface and a very subtle nap. The colour reads deep and composed, with just enough softness to keep it from looking flat.

About this fabric

This French Navy colourway has a dense, matte look that absorbs light and gives the surface a calm, tailored presence. The swatch appears plain and closely woven, with a fine texture that suggests a fabric suited to structured interior use. As part of the Limited Stock collection by Titley & Marr, it offers a practical, restrained option when you want a dark blue that feels more polished than bright. The overall effect is smart and classic, with the navy tone sitting close to black in low light but revealing its blue depth as the light lifts across it.

How to use it

Use this deep navy on chairs, benches or cushions where you want a strong but understated anchor. It works especially well with pale timber, brushed brass and crisp off-white upholstery details.

A refined navy with a quietly tailored look for classic seating and accents.

Melton French Navy melton is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
