About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric is woven in a 49% viscose, 26% linen, 8% polyester, 17% cotton blend, with a width of approximately 136cm and a repeat of V 56cm / H 136cm approx. The colourway reads as a washed, restrained blue rather than a strong navy, with chalky pale-blue medallions, misty aqua highlights and warm neutral outlines that keep the design light. The surface appearance has a dry, lightly textured handle suggested by the linen content, while the overall finish feels refined and useable rather than glossy. Its large horizontal repeat suits statement pieces where the pattern can be properly shown, and the scale is balanced by the soft, timeworn colouring.

How to use it

Use it on a sofa, armchair or roman blind where the gentle blue pattern can sit against oak, chalky paint or pale stone. It would also work well in a quiet hallway or bedroom scheme that needs colour without brightness.

A calm blue palette with a gently aged look, ideal for tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

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