About this fabric

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.

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.
