About this fabric

A fine crosshatched weave gives this fabric its defining look, with delicate vertical and horizontal threads visible rather than a printed motif. The cerulean blue reads dark and atmospheric, while lighter threads catch across the face to prevent the colour from appearing flat. Its understated texture has a smart, tailored quality suited to upholstery, cushions and simple drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Elbert Cerulean to introduce a cool, saturated blue on a chair, bench or pair of cushions, particularly alongside pale stone, warm timber or muted grey. Its fine woven texture can also give plain curtains a more substantial, quietly tailored finish.

A cool, deep blue woven texture that brings quiet depth to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

Elbert Cerulean 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.
