Bampton FabricF4884-08
Alder Old Blue is a softly muted blue cloth with a calm, chalky finish and a fine woven surface. The colour sits light and cool, with just enough depth in the weave to keep it from feeling flat.

About this fabric
This Bampton fabric by Colefax and Fowler is woven in a versatile blend of 51% cotton, 16% polyester, 14% viscose, 12% linen and 7% wool, giving the surface a subtle natural texture. The design has no visible repeat at approximately V 0cm / H 0cm, so the effect reads as an even all-over ground rather than a patterned cloth. In this Old Blue colourway, the shade appears pale, dusty and slightly greyed, with a softly mottled look that catches the light without becoming bright. At approximately 140cm wide, it is a practical fabric for schemes that need a gentle colour with a restrained, woven character.
How to use it
Use this blue for relaxed upholstery, loose covers or tailored curtains where a quiet colour is wanted without losing texture. It pairs especially well with pale oak, warm white and deeper navy accents to bring out its cool, airy tone.
A cool, quietly textured blue that works well in calm, lived-in interiors.

Alder Old Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
