Summerby Silk Old Blue is a softly classical floral stripe on a pale old blue ground, with climbing branches, ivory blossoms and fresh green leaves. The design feels airy rather than busy, thanks to the slender stripe structure and the gentle sheen of the silk blend.

About this fabric

Woven in 55% Silk and 45% Viscose, this fabric has the fluid, lightly lustrous finish you expect from a silk-rich cloth, while still holding the pattern clearly across a generous 139cm width. The repeat is large at approximately V 76cm / H 139cm, which suits the tall, trailing branches and gives the composition room to breathe. In this Old Blue colourway, the ground reads as a cool, misty blue with a soft chalky cast, so the white blossoms and olive-green leaves stand out without feeling stark. The overall effect is refined and serene, with enough body for elegant window treatments and decorative soft furnishings.

How to use it

Use it for full-length curtains, blinds or a bedroom pelmet where the cool blue ground can soften daylight. It pairs beautifully with pale painted wood, aged brass and quiet greens for a calm, tailored scheme.

Elegant for curtains or refined loose covers, with the old blue ground keeping the floral stripe calm and traditional.

Pairs well with

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