Orlando Old Blue shows a softly aged botanical pattern in washed blue-green and aqua tones on a pale ground. The design feels airy and quietly decorative, with the linen texture keeping the overall look relaxed rather than crisp.

About this fabric

This fabric is 100% Linen and comes in a width of approximately 136cm, with a vertical repeat of 70cm and a horizontal repeat of 136cm, so the motif reads as a large, flowing all-over design. In this Old Blue colourway, the floral and leaf forms are rendered in muted aqua, sage and faded teal with a gently chalky, almost weathered finish. The pale ground gives the pattern plenty of space, so the colour appears light and breathable rather than dense or saturated. The linen weave adds a natural slub and a softly matte surface that suits the design’s relaxed elegance. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Orlando Old Blue for curtains, Roman blinds or a feature chair where its cool, softened blue-green palette can sit against plaster, oak or painted timber. It works especially well in rooms that need pattern without heaviness, thanks to the light ground and airy repeat.

Use for elegant curtains or relaxed upholstered accents where the pale blue-green palette can breathe.

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.
