About this fabric
This colourway reads as a cool, muted blue with a gently washed character, so the small-scale geometric sits quietly across the surface rather than shouting for attention. The weave has a subtle slub and a dry, linen-led hand that softens the pattern edges and keeps the overall effect relaxed but tidy. It is a fabric, not a wallpaper, with a width of approximately 144cm and a repeat of roughly 4cm vertically and horizontally, making it practical for measured cutting and pattern matching. The composition of 64% viscose, 21% linen, 8% cotton, 4% polyamide and 3% polyacrylic suggests a balanced cloth with some softness, structure and durability. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for specification reference.
How to use it
Use this blue on a small armchair, headboard or Roman blind where the restrained pattern can add interest without dominating. It pairs particularly well with chalk white, weathered oak and deeper navy accents for a calm, layered room.
A quiet blue-ground small geometric that works neatly across tailored upholstery and elegant curtains.

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