About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler Jardine fabric is composed of 57% Linen, 39% Viscose and 4% Polyester, with a width of approx. 128cm and a repeat of V 16cm / H 21cm approx. The colourway reads as an old blue tempered by grey, so the ground feels cool, restrained and slightly chalky rather than bright. The small-scale geometric motif sits clearly on the surface, with the pale linear outline and dotted centres keeping the design delicate and precise. Its linen-rich blend adds a natural, gently textured appearance that suits both furnishings and window treatments.

How to use it

Use this soft blue-grey to bring a quiet pattern into a bedroom, study or sitting room. It works especially well with ivory paintwork, weathered timber and muted metallic accents.

Pair with pale oak, chalk white and brushed metals for a calm, tailored scheme.

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