About this fabric

Part of the Ellerdine collection by Colefax and Fowler, this fabric is composed of 38% Linen, 26% Viscose, 25% Cotton and 11% Polyester, with a width of approximately 128cm and a vertical repeat of approximately 75cm and horizontal repeat of approximately 42cm. The weave reads as a graceful decorative cloth rather than a heavy pile, with the printed/embroidered floral motifs sitting clearly against the soft old blue ground. White and ivory flowers, along with mint and turquoise highlights, keep the colourway cool and lightly washed, while the greyed base prevents it from feeling sugary. It has a smart, tailored mood that feels suitable for soft furnishings where pattern and colour need to stay elegant and calm. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Old Blue on curtains, cushions or an accent chair where the quiet blue ground can balance pale walls and natural timber. It works especially well with chalk white, weathered oak and muted sage for a fresh, collected look.

Pairs beautifully with pale timber, chalky neutrals and soft sage accents.

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