About this fabric

This colourway from the Liliana Sheers collection is woven in 71% linen, 25% viscose and 4% polyester, giving the fabric a crisp, lightly slubbed sheer handle. The design runs in elongated vertical stripes with stepped and diamond-like motifs, and the 128cm width suits full-length curtain drops. In Albury Old Blue, the pattern sits in muted blue-grey with a chalky, weathered cast that feels cooler and more relaxed than a brighter blue. The sheer ground keeps the look translucent, so the motifs appear softly brushed rather than sharply printed. Its approximate V 29cm / H 31cm repeat gives the pattern a measured, architectural rhythm.

How to use it

Use it as a quiet window dressing in rooms with pale woods, painted joinery or washed linen upholstery. The cool old-blue detailing works especially well where you want pattern without losing daylight.

Best for tailored curtains where the softly weathered blue adds a calm, elegant finish.

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.
