Arden Blue shows a pale woodland scene in layered blue on a soft, creamy ground. The overall effect is airy and slightly faded, with the trees and foliage drifting across the surface rather than sitting in sharp contrast.

About this fabric

This colourway in the Belvedere collection is woven in 100% linen, with a width of approximately 140cm and a large repeat of V 84cm / H 70cm, so the design has generous scale and reads best when allowed room to unfold. The fabric shows a delicate, matte linen texture that suits the softly painted trees and branches visible in the pattern. Arden Blue pairs cool blue foliage with misty ivory and pale stone tones, creating a calm, restrained look rather than a strong or saturated one. The forest motif feels lightly layered and atmospheric, with the blue detail settling into the cloth like watercolour over parchment. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Arden Blue for curtains, Roman blinds, or relaxed upholstered pieces in a room with chalky paint colours and natural timber. Its cool, misted blue tone works especially well where you want a quiet country feel without heavy contrast.

Use it for tailored curtains or elegant blinds where the pale blue motif can breathe.

Pairs well with

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