About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this Colefax and Fowler fabric has a narrow, rhythmic pattern with a vertical 0cm repeat and an approximate 2cm horizontal repeat. The Old Pink colourway is a muted blush with warm beige undertones, so the design feels gentle and airy rather than bright. Its small-scale surface detail gives the cloth a quiet movement across the width, while the linen weave adds a natural, slightly crisp texture. At approximately 139cm wide, it is a versatile fabric for both drapery and upholstery applications where a refined, softly coloured finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use Old Pink with chalky neutrals, pale oak and brushed brass for a calm, tailored scheme. It is especially pretty on a classic armchair, Roman blind or relaxed curtain where the understated pink can glow in daylight.

A gentle blush linen that feels easy and refined in layered interiors.

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.
