Tamarind Blue shows the Chilgrove design in a faded, softly weathered blue palette over a warm natural ground. The floral stripes feel airy and traditional, with the blue motifs lifting clearly against the linen base.

About this fabric

This fabric is 100% Linen with an approximate width of 134cm and a large repeat of V 62cm half drop / H 89cm, so the pattern reads in generous vertical bands. In this colourway, the blue sits in a muted, chalky range rather than a bright clear tone, giving the flowers and leaves a mellow, slightly aged character. The cream ground keeps the design light, while touches of green and pale tan soften the contrast and add depth. It feels refined but not formal, with enough visual structure to suit both curtains and upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use Tamarind Blue on relaxed curtains, chair backs, or a blind where the vertical stripes can show their full rhythm. It works especially well with painted wood, pale oak, and other washed blues or greens.

Pair with linen upholstery or drapery for a calm, tailored country look.

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