Beck Old Blue

Liliana Sheers FabricF4783-09

Beck Old Blue is a quietly layered sheer linen with a cool, softened blue tone and a gently weathered look in the folds. The wide drape in the photo gives it an airy, fluid presence rather than a crisp finish.

About this fabric

Part of the Liliana Sheers collection by Colefax and Fowler, this fabric is 100% linen with a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx and an extra-wide width of 314cm approx. The swatch shows a pale blue-grey surface with a slubby linen texture that catches the light softly and reads more misted than saturated. Its sheer, relaxed handle makes the colour feel calm and slightly cool, with deeper shadowing in the folds adding depth. With no performance features noted, it is best considered for elegant window treatment where the linen character can be seen and appreciated.

How to use it

Use this soft grey-blue for full-height curtains, sheers, or layered blinds where the gentle colour can soften daylight. It sits well with chalk white, pale oak, and muted silver finishes, especially in calm, coastal-inspired rooms.

A cool, misty blue linen that gives curtains an easy, understated softness.

Pairs well with

Beck Old 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.
