Hailsham Old Blue

Hailsham FabricF4876-04

Hailsham Old Blue shows a delicate scrolling floral pattern in soft old blue, set against a pale ground that keeps the overall look airy and composed. The beige outlines and tiny accent flowers give the design a quietly antique feel without darkening the room.

About this fabric

This Hailsham colourway is woven in 38% Polyester, 32% Linen and 30% Cotton, giving the surface a gently textured, relaxed handle that suits both upholstery and drapery. The pattern repeats every V 39cm and H 44cm approx, with the leaf and flower motifs arranged in a neat, rhythmic layout that reads clearly across the cloth. In this Old Blue palette, the main motif feels cool and washed rather than bright, while the sandy beige detailing softens the contrast and adds warmth. The 132cm approx width makes it practical for larger furnishings, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code and K fire code should be checked against project requirements.

How to use it

Use this muted blue on a skirted chair, blind, or cushions where the pale ground can help lift a room. It pairs especially well with chalky white, weathered oak, and other faded textile blues for a calm, collected scheme.

A restrained old blue palette with beige outlining, ideal for elegant upholstery or softened curtains.

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.
