Carrera Sky

Carrera Sky presents a cool, pale sky-blue interpretation of an Indienne-inspired design, softened by a creamy ground and softly weathered surface. Fine botanical and ornamental fragments create a richly layered pattern without a strong contrast.

About this fabric

The colourway combines washed sky blue, powdery aqua and warm cream, giving the dense all-over design an airy, quietly faded character. Its 428gsm weight and 69 threads per centimetre indicate a substantial, closely made textile suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications. The pattern has a 51cm vertical repeat and 68.5cm horizontal repeat, allowing the scattered botanical forms to build an even, decorative field across the cloth. With a 137cm usable width, Carrera Sky offers practical coverage while retaining the visual depth of its layered, softly textured motif.

How to use it

Use Carrera Sky on a relaxed armchair, headboard or full-length curtains where its cool blue tone can lighten a room without feeling stark. Balance it with ivory upholstery, pale stone walls and natural timber, or introduce muted blue accents to draw out the aqua detail.

Pair the cool sky-blue ground with warm ivory, chalky neutrals and lightly aged wood for a calm, collected interior.

Pairs well with

Carrera Sky 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.
