About this fabric

The close-set weave has a lightly tactile finish, with narrow vertical lines giving the fabric visual direction. Its ocean-blue tone is muted rather than vivid, while pale taupe and cream flecks soften the overall contrast. Small chevron-like motifs repeat through the weave, creating texture without a dominant large-scale pattern. No composition, width or rub-test data has been supplied for this fabric, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use Austell Ocean on relaxed upholstery or full-length curtains where its cool blue depth can sit alongside chalky linens, pale timber and brushed brass. The small woven pattern also works well with simple silhouettes that let the vertical texture show.

Pair the cool ocean-blue ground with pale neutrals, weathered woods and warm metallic accents.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Austell 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.
