Clement Old Blue

Clement Old Blue shows a delicate trailing leaf motif in warm ivory and ochre against a muted, airy blue ground. The overall effect is crisp but gentle, with the pattern reading clearly without feeling heavy.

About this fabric

This colourway pairs a pale old blue background with slim branching stems in warm tan and small white leaf forms, giving the design a fresh, lightly vintage feel. The fabric is woven in a 55% Linen, 29% Acrylic, 16% Polyester composition, with an approximate width of 132cm and a repeat of V 49cm / H 44cm, so the trail has a substantial but orderly rhythm across the cloth. The visible texture looks softly woven rather than glossy, which suits the calm, tailored character of the print. With care code Q 8 9 T 3 and fire code K, it is a practical decorative textile as well as a pretty one.

How to use it

Use this soft old blue to bring a cool, refined note to curtains, blind facings or occasional upholstery. It works especially well with pale oak, chalk white and muted brass for a restrained, classic scheme.

A cool, quiet blue that feels fresh and tailored with natural texture.

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