Westbrook Old Blue

Name: Westbrook Old Blue
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F4823-05

Westbrook Old Blue pairs a creamy ground with slim, painterly blue-green stripes that feel calm and tailored. The design reads fresh rather than bright, with a softly brushed edge that keeps the stripe relaxed.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, this fabric has a natural, matte handle that suits the crisp vertical rhythm of the Brooke Stripes design. The repeat is V 13cm / H 138cm approx, with the stripe running in slender, irregular teal-blue marks across a pale warm background. The colourway has a muted, old-world coolness: more weathered blue-green than vivid teal, so it feels settled and versatile rather than sharp. At 138cm approx wide, it is a practical cloth for furnishing schemes that want pattern without heaviness, and the specified care code Q 8 : T 3 with fire code √BM should be checked against project requirements.

How to use it

Use it on upholstered occasional chairs, blinds, or full-length curtains where the vertical stripe can add quiet height. It sits well with oat, chalk, weathered oak, and soft brass, especially in rooms that need a cool accent against warm neutrals.

The soft blue-green stripe lifts the creamy ground without feeling busy, making it easy to pair with timber and pale neutrals.

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.
