About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has a naturally crisp look that suits both curtains and lighter upholstery schemes. The Old Blue ground is muted and airy rather than saturated, giving the printed flowers, birds and foliage a gentle lift without feeling harsh. The repeat is large at approximately V 70cm / H 140cm, which helps the full scenic rhythm of the design read clearly across wider drops and larger upholstered pieces. At approximately 140cm wide, it offers a generous cloth for drapery projects or statement seating with a polished, decorative finish.

How to use it

Use this pale blue colourway where you want pattern without heaviness: it works especially well against chalk white, sage and weathered wood. In a room with good light, the cool ground keeps the floral and bird motif feeling crisp and elegant.

Pair this airy blue linen with painted timber and soft neutrals to let the chinoiserie motif stay in focus.

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.
