About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has a natural, slightly relaxed handle that suits both curtains and lighter upholstery uses. The large repeat, measuring approximately V 87cm / H 67cm, gives the design room to breathe and keeps the branches, birds and stylised flowers from feeling cramped. In Durlston Blue, the palette reads as diluted duck-egg and greyed aqua against a cream ground, with just enough sage and blush to soften the cooler notes. The linen texture helps the colour sit quietly on the surface, so the pattern feels refined and gently aged rather than bright or crisp. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Durlston Blue in rooms that need a calm, decorative lift, such as an elegant bedroom, sitting room or softly formal drawing room. It works especially well with limed oak, pale painted joinery and muted mineral accents that echo its cool, faded tone.

Layer with pale woods and chalky neutrals to keep the design fresh and elegant.

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.
