About this fabric
This Genoa colourway is woven in 100% silk and measures approximately 138cm wide, with a 0.5cm horizontal repeat and no vertical repeat. The fabric shows a very fine ribbed texture that catches the light gently, which helps the old blue tone look cool, pale and slightly luminous rather than flat. Its restrained sheen and delicate surface make the colour feel polished without becoming glossy. The supplied care code is Q 8 + T 3 and the fire code is √BM.
How to use it
Use it for elegant curtains, relaxed blinds or a lightly dressed scheme where the soft blue can reflect daylight. It pairs especially well with chalk white, pale grey and weathered oak, keeping the room fresh and composed.
Elegant and understated, with a cool blue tone that suits tailored curtains or refined light upholstery accents.

Pairs well with
Genoa Old Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
