About this fabric
This colourway has a restrained, misted blue appearance, with the weave creating tiny horizontal flecks and a lightly textured surface rather than a flat finish. The cloth is 145cm wide approx and composed of 61% viscose, 17% cotton, 16% polyester and 6% linen, which helps explain its smooth but slightly slubby look. With no repeat to contend with, it offers a straightforward, tailor-friendly option for clean upholstery or relaxed curtains. The overall effect is cool, quiet and understated, sitting between blue and grey depending on the light.
How to use it
Use it on a compact armchair, bench seat or simple drapery where the soft blue-grey tone can cool a room without feeling stark. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale oak and deeper indigo details.
A quietly elegant blue that layers well with pale woods, linen neutrals and deeper navy accents.

Amersham 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.
