Solitaire Ocean

Solitaire Ocean brings a cool, coastal tone to the Checkmate collection, combining muted ocean blue with a soft cream ground. Its closely spaced horizontal lines have a gently uneven, hand-drawn quality rather than a rigid graphic finish.

About this fabric

The colourway is built from fine blue and cream horizontal stripes, with the pale ground allowing the ocean shade to remain light and airy. Close up, the surface shows a subtly nubby woven texture and small variations in stripe width that give the pattern a relaxed rhythm. The balanced scale and textile-like construction make it a versatile choice for upholstery or drapery. Its cool blue-grey cast works particularly well where a room needs colour without a strong, saturated statement.

How to use it

Use Solitaire Ocean on occasional chairs, headboards or relaxed curtains alongside chalky walls, oat-coloured upholstery and washed timber. The cool blue reads especially fresh with cream, stone and pale grey accents.

Pair its cool ocean-blue and soft cream stripes with natural linens, pale timber and warm neutral upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Solitaire Ocean without fighting it. 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.
