Sollander Old Blue
Leonora FabricF4658-02
Sollander Old Blue shows a graceful floral-and-paisley motif in a pale, dusty blue-grey on a warm ivory ground. The design reads light and elegant, with just enough contrast to keep the pattern clearly defined.

About this fabric
This Old Blue colourway has a softened, slightly weathered look, with the motif appearing in a cool blue-grey that sits gently against the ivory background. The fabric’s 56% Silk and 44% Cotton composition gives the surface a subtle lustre and a dry, refined handle visible in the weave. With a width of approximately 128cm and a large repeat of V 135cm / H 128cm approx, it is suited to statement curtains and lined window treatments where the generous scale can be shown off. The pale ground and restrained blue tone make the pattern feel airy rather than heavy, while the ornate floral and paisley forms add classical detail.
How to use it
Use this colourway for full-length drapes in a room with painted joinery, limestone, or pale oak so the soft blue-grey pattern can settle into the scheme. It also works beautifully in a smart bedroom or drawing room where a cooler, faded-blue note is needed without darkening the space.
Pair with chalky neutrals and painted woods for a calm, tailored look.

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