Lyncombe Old Blue has a quiet, chalky blue tone with a softly heathered surface that reads calm rather than bright. The weave gives it a fine, lightly textured look with gentle depth across the cloth.

About this fabric

This Lyncombe colourway is woven in a 43% Cotton, 32% Viscose, 14% Acrylic, 8% Linen, 3% Polyamide composition, with an approximate width of 140cm and no visible repeat. The fabric appears as a small, even plain weave, with the blue softened by greyed notes so it sits in a restrained, lived-in register. Its matte finish and close texture give the colour a muted, slightly smoky quality, with lighter threads creating a subtle crosshatch effect in the surface. The result feels versatile and composed, suited to a fabric that needs to look tailored without feeling severe.

How to use it

Pair this dusty blue with pale oak, putty, and off-white for a calm, layered scheme, or use it against darker timber to emphasise its cool, serene undertone. It works well where a soft, understated blue is wanted without the brightness of a clearer primary tone.

Use it for tailored upholstery or relaxed drapery with crisp, classic finishes.

Pairs well with

Lyncombe Old Blue 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.
