Bridgeport Fabric08

Bridgeport 08 Storm has a cool, layered blue-grey ground broken by chalky pale areas and charcoal brush-like blocks. Its distressed surface gives the colourway a weathered, painterly depth rather than a clean geometric finish.

About this fabric

The design is formed from irregular vertical and horizontal marks, with smoky charcoal patches set against pale grey and softened blue-grey tones. Close-looking areas appear mottled and tactile, while the varied density of the marks creates depth across the surface. The cool palette keeps the overall impression restrained, with occasional darker fragments adding definition. As a fabric rather than a smooth plain, it is especially suited to upholstery where its abstract texture can remain visible across a larger form.

How to use it

Pair this cool blue-grey colourway with charcoal, chalk white and muted blue furnishings for a calm, contemporary scheme. It also works well on a structured armchair or sofa where the broken painterly marks can read as a decorative surface.

Use this cool, weathered blue-grey on tailored upholstery to bring painterly depth to a contemporary room.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside 08 Storm 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.
