About this fabric

This C&F Classic Prints fabric is woven in 100% linen, with a repeat of approximately V 64cm / H 67cm and a width of about 136cm. The design shows large, open flowers in warm cream with green centres, paired with olive and fresh leaf foliage and tiny blue accents that keep the palette cool. The ground reads as a muted old blue with a green cast, so the print feels softened and slightly weathered rather than bright. The linen surface adds a dry, natural texture that suits the hand-painted look of the motif.

How to use it

Use this old-blue colourway where you want pattern without heaviness: it works well for relaxed curtains, cushions or an upholstered accent chair in a pale room. The cool sage ground pairs especially well with painted whites, washed wood and mossy or stone-toned accessories.

A fresh sage-ground floral that brings a calm, country-house feel to curtains or lightly used upholstery.

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.
