Beaux Boy Blue

Name: Beaux Boy Blue
Brand: Zinc Textile

Beaux Boy Blue has a cool blue-grey ground with a tightly worked, nubby surface that reveals small flashes of pink, ochre, cream and pale blue. Its softly mottled appearance gives the colourway depth without forming a separate printed pattern.

About this fabric

The close, irregular weave reads as a substantial textile, with tiny raised fibres and varied threads creating a tactile, upholstery-friendly surface. Blue-grey remains the dominant tone, while the warmer ochre and pink flecks prevent the shade from feeling flat or overly cold. The design is catalogued as Fabric, and no performance features are noted for this colourway. Viewed across the swatch, the surface has the character of a finely mixed yarn weave rather than a smooth or uniform cloth.

How to use it

Use Beaux Boy Blue on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat where its cool blue-grey base can settle alongside charcoal, soft stone and weathered timber. Pick up the scattered ochre and pink notes with small cushions or artwork for a gently layered scheme.

A blue-grey upholstery textile enlivened by fine pink, ochre and cream flecks.

Pairs well with

Beaux Boy Blue 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.
