About this fabric

The pattern is arranged in generous hanging clusters, with cool blue-grey petals and small cream blooms set among olive and sage foliage. Fine curling stems and trailing leaves bring movement through the warm beige-taupe background, while the muted tones keep the composition from feeling overly bright. Printed on 100% paper, this wallpaper has a 61cm vertical repeat with a half drop and an approximate 52cm horizontal repeat. The large-scale arrangement is particularly effective where the full cascades can be seen across the wall.

How to use it

Use this Old Blue colourway to bring a cool, faded botanical note to a bedroom, country sitting room or dressing room. Pair the blue-grey flowers with chalky whites, sage upholstery and warm natural woods to echo the wallpaper’s taupe ground.

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.
