About this fabric

The large-scale print shows herons, ducks and floating lilies in layered blue tones, with fine ink-like detailing that remains clearly visible across the swatch. Its 10% linen and 90% cotton composition has a softly woven, natural-looking surface, while the pale ground keeps the design light rather than heavily saturated. With a 90 cm vertical repeat and 136 cm horizontal repeat, the composition makes a confident statement on wide curtains, bedspreads and upholstered pieces. It is rated at 20,000 Martindale and is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery and fixed upholstery; professional dry cleaning is required.

How to use it

Use Ellingham Blue on a statement chair, headboard or full-length curtains where its cool blue water garden can be appreciated at scale. Pair the ivory ground with pale timber, chalky walls and quiet blue-grey accents for a fresh, collected scheme.

Use this cool, softly illustrated blue with ivory upholstery, natural woods and relaxed tailored curtains.

Pairs well with

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