Conway Old Blue

Kelsea FabricF4674-13

Conway Old Blue is a quietly textured plain weave with a pale blue-grey cast and a softly heathered look. The finish feels understated and refined, letting the cloth’s natural slub and weave do the talking.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a cool, misty blue with a gentle grey undertone, so it feels calmer and softer than a brighter denim shade. The visible plain weave gives it a relaxed, linen-led texture, while the blend of 49% viscose, 45% linen and 6% polyester adds a smoother, more settled surface. With a width of approximately 138cm and no repeat, it is well suited to tailored, uninterrupted applications where the texture can be appreciated. The √BH fire code and Q 8 + T 3 care code make it a practical decorative fabric for considered interiors.

How to use it

Use it for slipper chairs, loose covers or Roman blinds where the pale blue tone can keep a room feeling fresh and airy. It pairs especially well with chalk whites, bleached timber and muted navy accents.

A calm blue-grey linen blend that works beautifully on relaxed upholstery or clean-lined curtains.

Pairs well with

Conway Old Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
