Sol Colibri

Sol Colibri has a softened blue-grey ground, finely broken up with pale cream, sandy beige and deeper blue-grey threads. Its close texture gives the colourway a quietly mottled, dimensional appearance.

About this fabric

Viewed closely, Sol Colibri is a compact woven textile with a tiny, regular check or basket-like structure rather than a large printed motif. The overall tone is cool and restrained, while cream and taupe flecks prevent the blue-grey ground from appearing flat. Its dense-looking, even surface gives the fabric a smart upholstery character and a subtle tactile depth. The small-scale weave should sit comfortably alongside plain linens, timber and softly patterned furnishings.

How to use it

Use this muted blue-grey on an occasional chair, headboard or compact sofa where its fine woven texture can be seen at close range. Balance the cool ground with warm ivory upholstery details, natural oak and taupe accessories.

Pair its cool blue-grey base with warm ivory, pale oak and brushed metal.

Sol Colibri 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.
