Conway Vintage Blue has a calm, weathered blue tone with a lightly mottled, linen-rich surface. The close weave gives it a refined, understated look that feels soft rather than saturated.

About this fabric

This colourway is woven in a restrained blue-grey mix, with tiny flecks and slubs that soften the overall shade and give the surface a gently broken-up finish. The fabric is composed of 49% viscose, 45% linen and 6% polyester, and it comes with a width of approximately 138cm. With no repeat to interrupt the cloth, the plain weave reads especially clean and versatile, while the linen content keeps the texture visually dry and natural. It has enough substance for upholstery, yet still feels light and composed enough for drapery where a tailored, relaxed finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use this vintage blue as a quiet foundation for pale oak, chalky white and weathered metals, or pair it with deeper navy and stone for a layered scheme. Its cool, muted tone is especially effective in rooms that need colour without losing a calm, collected feel.

A quietly elegant blue-linen blend that works beautifully across tailored upholstery and relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Conway Vintage 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.
