About this fabric
Woven in 50% Linen and 50% Viscose, this Carissa Sheers fabric has the soft handle and translucent finish you would expect of a decorative sheer. The old blue colourway reads as a restrained blue-grey with a faint silvery cast, so the scrolling damask appears defined but never harsh. Its large repeat, at approximately V 39cm and H 32cm, gives the pattern a graceful, room-scale rhythm across the 125cm width. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code Z, it is suited to elegant window treatments rather than hard-wearing seating.
How to use it
Use this colourway for layered curtains in a pale interior, where the blue-grey tone can cool warm walls and glazing. It also works well as a refined sheer in formal sitting rooms, dressing the window without blocking light.
A pale blue-grey sheer that softens ornate patterning without feeling heavy.

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