20 Sapphire

Tenby Fabric20

Tenby 20 Sapphire is a quiet, cool-toned woven fabric with the depth of blue softened by a blue-grey cast. Its close texture gives the plain surface a gently tactile character rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The swatch shows an even plain weave in muted sapphire blue, with fine pale and darker threads creating restrained tonal variation. Its dense, small-scale texture is particularly visible in the close-up, where tiny vertical and horizontal threads form a softly grained surface. The colour reads cooler and more subdued than a vivid jewel blue, giving it a composed, architectural feel. With no pattern competing for attention, the weave and nuanced blue-grey tone remain the defining features.

How to use it

Use this cool sapphire blue-grey on a tailored armchair, ottoman or headboard where its subtle texture can be seen at close range. Balance the shade with chalky whites, pale oak or warm natural fibres to soften its cooler depth.

A compact, finely textured weave in a cool sapphire blue-grey that brings quiet depth to upholstered pieces.

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.
