Palazzo Old Blue pairs a pale, misty blue ground with an elegant oversized damask in soft ivory. The overall effect is quiet and luminous, with the pattern sitting gently rather than shouting from the cloth.

About this fabric

This Belvedere fabric by Colefax and Fowler is woven in a 38% Cotton, 38% Linen, 19% Viscose, 3% Polyamide, 2% Polyester composition, giving the surface a refined, lightly textural handle. The design has a large repeat, measuring approximately V 79cm / H 65cm, which is clear in the scale of the scrolling floral damask across the swatch. At about 130cm wide, it offers good coverage for both upholstery and drapery use, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code with √CM fire rating adds practical detail for specification. In this colourway, the blue reads especially soft and chalked, with the pale motif appearing almost pearly against the cooler background.

How to use it

Use it where you want a calm, aristocratic blue rather than a strong statement, such as tailored curtains, an upholstered armchair, or a formal headboard. It works beautifully with painted whites, silvered woods, and other quiet pastels that echo its washed, elegant tone.

A soft, airy blue that lifts the ornate damask without feeling stark.

Pairs well with

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