Avril FabricF4303-02

Melina Blue shows a trailing botanical design in a soft powder blue on a pale linen ground. The overall effect is airy and restrained, with the motif drawing gently across the cloth rather than sitting boldly on top.

About this fabric

This Avril fabric by Colefax and Fowler is composed of 80% linen and 20% polyester, with an approximate width of 128cm and a repeat of V 65cm / H 128cm. In this colourway, the branch-like pattern is worked in a muted blue that feels cool and slightly weathered, while the natural ground keeps the cloth looking light. The weave reads as a relaxed linen blend with an easy, understated texture that suits both drapes and softer furnishing use. The large repeat gives the design a generous, flowing rhythm, so the motif has room to open out across wider drops or larger upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use Melina Blue where you want a calm, classic scheme with a fresh edge: it sits beautifully alongside chalk white paint, pale oak and brushed nickel. The cool blue linework also pairs well with deeper indigo accents if you want to sharpen the look.

A light, airy linen blend that suits tailored curtains and relaxed upholstery alike.

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.
