Bagatelle Bleu de Chine is a painterly floral on a clear ivory ground, scattered with layered blue leaves, blossoms, and scrolling stems. The overall effect is crisp and decorative, with a cool blue palette that feels fresh rather than heavy.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has the natural, slightly slubby handle you would expect from a linen cloth, while the design reads with the clarity of a printed botanical. The repeat is approximately V 96cm by H 68cm, giving the pattern a generous, statement scale across the width of 136cm. In this Bleu de Chine colourway, the blues move from pale powder and sky tones through deeper denim and slate accents, all set against a warm ivory background that keeps the surface bright. It is a refined choice for both upholstery and drapery where you want pattern, texture, and a fresh blue note in equal measure.

How to use it

Use it on an occasional chair, headboard, or relaxed curtains where the large floral repeat can breathe. It sits especially well with white-painted wood, pale oak, and simple blue-and-cream schemes.

Pairs beautifully with pale linen, chalk white, and weathered oak for a fresh but composed scheme.

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.
