Constance Old Blue presents a gently faded floral on a chalky blue ground, with soft pink blooms and airy foliage scattered in a calm, balanced repeat. The overall effect is light, refined and quietly romantic rather than brightly country.

About this fabric

This colourway of Constance is printed on 100% linen with an approximate 132cm width and a large 66cm vertical and horizontal repeat, so the bouquet motif has room to sit softly across the cloth. The visible weave gives the ground a natural, matte texture, which suits the muted old-blue tone and keeps the flowers looking delicate rather than crisp. In this version, the background reads as a cool, washed blue with a slightly misted quality, while the rose-pink blossoms and sage leaves provide just enough contrast to lift the design. The fabric’s listed Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code support its use in a considered interior scheme.

How to use it

Use this pale blue floral for relaxed curtains, blind panels or light upholstery where you want a fresh but tailored country-house feel. It works especially well with painted timber, washed oak and soft blush or stone accessories.

Pairs beautifully with chalky neutrals and faded rose accents for a soft, refined interior.

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