About this fabric
This colourway combines a pale old blue ground with an off-white scrolling motif, creating a fresh but quietly aged look. The design has a large repeat, with a vertical repeat of approximately 38cm and a horizontal repeat of approximately 32cm, which gives the pattern a confident, decorative rhythm. Woven in 64% Linen and 36% Viscose, it has the lightly slubby linen character visible in the ground and a softer, smoother highlight where the motif catches the light. At approximately 130cm wide, it is a practical furnishing cloth for window treatments where the repeat can be shown to best effect. The overall impression is elegant and restrained rather than vivid, with the blue kept dusty and the pattern kept crisp.
How to use it
Use this old blue beside chalky whites, pale oak and silvered timber for a calm scheme with a tailored, coastal feel. It would also sit well in a bedroom or drawing room where the large-scale pattern can breathe across full-length curtains.
A graceful old blue that feels calm and refined with crisp ivory patterning.

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.
