Swedish Tree Old Blue shows a trailing floral pattern with pale blossom and leafy branches floating over a softly striated blue-grey ground. The design reads light and airy in this colourway, with the motif standing out in a gentle chalky contrast.

About this fabric

This Leonora fabric is woven in a blend of 49% viscose, 26% linen, 17% cotton and 8% polyester, with an approximate width of 136cm and a large repeat of V 89cm / H 136cm. The surface has a natural linen-like slub and a subtle sheen in the lighter pattern areas, giving the floral a softly aged, tactile character. In Swedish Tree Old Blue, the ground is a muted blue-grey rather than a strong navy, so the blossoms and stems feel fresh, hushed and slightly misted. It is a versatile decorative fabric with enough body for upholstery and enough softness for curtains and blind-style applications.

How to use it

Use this blue-grey colourway where you want pattern without heavy contrast: it suits pale painted woodwork, stone tones and antique silver finishes. On upholstery it brings a quiet, tailored look; as drapery it will soften the room with a cool, light-reflective floral.

A calm blue-grey floral that works beautifully across both relaxed upholstery and tailored curtains.

Pairs well with

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