Clarinda Old Blue presents a softly faded floral trail on a cool blue-grey ground. The pattern reads airy rather than busy, with pale blossoms and delicate sprigs giving the design a gentle, antique feel.

About this fabric

This fabric is woven in a 35% cotton, 35% linen, 30% viscose blend, giving the surface a soft matte handle with a subtle, refined sheen in the lighter details. The repeat is approximately V 65cm / H 68cm, and the large-scale floral stripes are clearly visible in the image, with spaced vertical garlands that suit more formal furnishing schemes. In this colourway the background sits in an old blue-grey tone, while the flowers are mostly ivory, misty sage and chalky blue with occasional warmer, faded accent notes. At approximately 140cm wide, and with fire code √BM and care code Q 8 + W 3, it is a versatile textile for both upholstery and drapery where a composed decorative look is wanted.

How to use it

Use this blue-grey colourway to soften a classic sitting room, especially with painted woodwork, aged brass and pale timber. It also works well as curtains or an upholstered feature chair when you want the floral pattern to feel calm rather than busy.

The cool blue-grey ground keeps the trailing floral motif elegant and calm.

Pairs well with

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