96 Nile
Cumbrae Fabric96
96 Nile is a quiet blue-grey textile with a softly brushed surface and subtle tonal variation across the cloth. Its cool, atmospheric colour shifts gently as the nap catches the light.

About this fabric
The surface appears finely textured and densely woven, with a short brushed nap that creates soft changes between blue-grey and deeper slate tones. Rather than showing a motif, the design relies on the movement of the surface and its gently mottled colour. The darker areas add depth without making the shade feel heavy, while the lighter brushed passages give it a softly reflective finish. As a fabric with no additional performance features noted, its appeal is primarily visual and tactile, making it a considered choice for upholstery where this calm blue-grey tone can be seen at close range.
How to use it
Use 96 Nile on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard to introduce a cool, softened blue-grey note. Pair it with chalky neutrals, pale timber and brushed metal to emphasise its slate-like depth without competing with the subtle surface texture.
Use this cool blue-grey textile to bring quiet depth to upholstered seating, especially alongside pale woods, stone and soft neutrals.

Pairs well with
96 Nile 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.
