About this fabric

Woven in 88% Linen and 12% Viscose, this sheer fabric has the relaxed handle and gentle texture you would expect from a linen-led curtain cloth. The repeat is approximately V 12cm / H 11cm, giving the small oval medallions a neat, regular rhythm across the width. In this colourway, the old blue detail is muted and cool rather than bright, while the surrounding outline and ground keep the overall effect light. At approximately 123cm wide, it is well suited to curtains and blinds where a soft patterned transparency is wanted. The fire code is Z, and no additional performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use Calabri Old Blue in rooms that need pattern without weight, especially when you want the blue to feel faded and elegant rather than seaside-bright. It works well with chalky whites, pale woods and soft grey upholstery.

The muted blue motif feels calm and airy, ideal for light-filled rooms.

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.
