About this fabric

The Old Blue colourway combines cool blue-grey leaves with pale stone, sage and softened taupe tones in a detailed forest scene. Slender trunks rise through overlapping branches, while darker foliage gathers in the foreground to give the design gentle depth without stark contrast. Made from 100% non-woven material, it has an approximate vertical repeat of 84cm and horizontal repeat of 68.5cm. As a wallpaper, the expansive repeat allows the woodland image to read as a continuous canopy rather than a small-scale scattered motif.

How to use it

Pair this muted blue-grey woodland with chalky neutrals, weathered timber and soft sage upholstery for a calm, layered room. It would bring especially gentle depth to a bedroom, reading room or naturally lit sitting room.

Use this cool, softly layered woodland scene to bring quiet depth to bedrooms, studies or sitting rooms.

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