About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Colmar Blue has a natural, lightly textured handle that suits relaxed curtains as well as lighter upholstery. The design is set to a large 67cm x 67cm approx repeat, so the scrolling flowers and leaves read with a generous, classical rhythm rather than a tight all-over scatter. In this colourway the blues sit in a cool, dusty range, softened by pale sage and dove-grey accents that stop the pattern feeling too crisp. The cream ground keeps the overall effect airy and calm, while the linen base gives the print a dry, quietly artisanal finish. It is suitable for both upholstery and drapery, with care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM noted.

How to use it

Use Colmar Blue where you want a pale, fresh scheme with enough pattern to soften plain walls and upholstery. It pairs well with weathered wood, painted timber in chalky whites, and brushed metal finishes in pale pewter.

A quiet blue-and-cream floral that feels elegant without reading formal.

Pairs well with

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