About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler Cristabel fabric is woven in 100% linen and has an approximate width of 130cm, with a large repeat of V 75cm / H 65cm. The linen ground gives the cloth a dry, natural handle that suits a considered interior scheme. In this colourway, the flowers read as misty old blue with teal undertones, while the stems and scrolling branches sit back in quiet stone and taupe. The overall effect is decorative but softened, so the pattern feels layered and elegant rather than bright or contrasty.

How to use it

Pair this blue-and-stone colourway with pale woods, chalky paintwork and upholstered pieces in oatmeal or putty. It works especially well where you want a classic floral to feel calm, slightly faded and understated.

Use for elegant curtains or relaxed upholstery where the muted blue flowers can stand out against lighter interiors.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Tree Poppy Old Blue/Stone 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.
