Greenacre Old Blue pairs a pale ground with trailing botanical stems and softly shaded leaves in blue-green, taupe and sand. The result is a graceful, airy linen that feels calm rather than bright.

About this fabric

This Jardine fabric is woven in 100% linen and has a repeat of V 55cm half drop and H 89cm approx, with a width of 135cm approx. In this colourway, the drawn foliage reads as a softened old blue with cool teal notes, offset by muted beige and warm stone shading that stops the pattern from feeling stark. The leaf clusters sit lightly on the pale background, so the design keeps its detail without becoming heavy. The linen texture adds to the relaxed, natural character and suits rooms that want pattern with restraint. Fire code √BM and care code Q 8 + T 3 are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use it for curtains, Roman blinds or a full bedroom scheme where the subdued blue-green palette can sit against painted woodwork, pale oak or washed plaster. It would also work beautifully with muted chalky greens and warm neutrals.

The muted blue-green leafwork keeps this linen feeling elegant and airy, ideal for relaxed curtains or refined soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

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