Felicity Old Blue

Name: Felicity Old Blue
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F4750-02

Felicity Old Blue shows a delicate all-over block print in softened blue-green on a warm cream linen ground. The small trailing motif feels neat and airy, with just enough contrast to read clearly without looking harsh.

About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric from the Ashmead Block Prints collection is woven in 100% linen and has a repeat of approximately V 20cm and H 12cm, with a width of about 146cm. The print sits on a pale cream ground, while the tiny scrolling leaves and buds appear in a muted old blue with a hint of grey, giving the design a calm, timeworn finish. The linen texture softens the edges of the motif and keeps the overall look light rather than dense. With no performance features noted, it feels best suited to decorative domestic use where its quiet pattern can be appreciated.

How to use it

Use this colourway for slim curtains, cushions or a lightweight upholstered headboard where the soft blue tone can lift the room without dominating it. It works especially well with painted whites, weathered wood and muted greys.

A restrained blue-and-cream print that suits classic upholstery or relaxed curtains.

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