Marldon Pale Blue

Albeck FabricF3701-13

Marldon Pale Blue is a softly mottled plain weave with a cool, airy look and a finely textured surface. Its pale blue tone reads relaxed but polished, with the weave giving it gentle depth rather than flat colour.

About this fabric

This Albeck fabric by Colefax and Fowler has a tight, small-scale woven texture that gives the pale blue surface a subtle peppered effect in the light. The composition is 57% viscose, 21% cotton, 12% linen and 10% polyester, with an approximate width of 145cm and no repeat, making it straightforward to pattern-match and use across a range of schemes. The colour sits in a restrained, chalky blue range, softened by the woven blend so it feels fresh rather than icy. With its balanced handle and understated finish, it works well where a clean plain fabric is needed without losing visual interest.

How to use it

Use Marldon Pale Blue on upholstered chairs, loose covers or relaxed curtains where its cool tone can brighten a room without feeling sharp. It pairs especially well with pale timber, white-painted joinery and deeper navy or grey accents.

A calm, versatile pale blue with a neat woven texture that suits tailored interiors.

Pairs well with

Marldon Pale 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.
