About this fabric
The close, even weave is visibly enlivened by tiny pale and deeper blue flecks, creating a subtly mottled finish instead of a completely flat colour. This colourway sits between soft blue and worn denim, with a cool cast that gives it a composed, tailored character. The surface appears fine and versatile, making it suitable to consider for both upholstery and drapery. No composition, width, rub-test or additional performance specification has been supplied for this fabric, and no performance features are noted.
How to use it
Use 16 River to upholster a clean-lined armchair or sofa where its cool denim tone can anchor warm timber, chalky neutrals and brushed metal. As curtains, its softly varied blue surface would add gentle depth without introducing a strong pattern.
A cool, softly mottled denim blue that brings tailored calm to upholstery, cushions or curtains.

Pairs well with
16 River 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.
