Bellflower Wallpaper Old Blue

Bellflower Wallpaper Old Blue pairs a cool, muted blue-grey ground with delicate ivory bellflowers and winding botanical stems. The restrained palette gives the large-scale floral design a softly faded, quietly elegant character.

About this wallpaper

The background reads as a blue-grey softened with a gentle sage cast, while the bellflowers appear in chalky ivory and pale cream. Taupe and muted olive stems curve through the design, with fine fern-like leaves adding a lighter, lace-like detail around the larger sprays. Made from 100% paper, this wallpaper has a vertical repeat of 61cm on a half drop and an approximate horizontal repeat of 52cm. The low-contrast colouring keeps the botanical pattern composed rather than vivid, allowing the sweeping stems to provide movement without overpowering the wall.

How to use it

Use Old Blue in a bedroom, reading room or sitting room where its cool blue-grey ground can sit alongside ivory, weathered timber and muted taupe upholstery. Repeat the pale bellflower tones in lampshades or soft furnishings for a connected, quietly layered scheme.

Use this cool, softened blue-grey ground to bring quiet colour and refined botanical detail to a room.

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