Casey Old Blue

This Colefax and Fowler fabric has a small-scale repeating motif with a crisp, almost herringbone-like rhythm that gives the surface gentle movement. The Old Blue colourway is muted rather than bright, mixing dusty blue with warm neutral threads so the pattern feels fresh but settled. At approximately 142cm wide and composed of 47% cotton, 27% viscose, 21% polyester and 5% linen, it has the versatility to work across both upholstery and drapery applications. The texture in the swatch looks neatly woven and fairly refined, with the pale ground stopping the blue from becoming too heavy. Its repeat of about V 5cm / H 12cm means the design will register clearly on larger pieces while still feeling restrained.

Use this colourway on a compact armchair, footstool or relaxed curtains where the soft blue can lift a neutral scheme. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, aged oak and brushed brass for a tailored, quietly classic room.
