About this fabric

This sheer is composed of 59% Linen, 34% Viscose and 7% Polyester, giving it a light, fluid handle that suits curtains and other window treatments. The swatch shows a translucent off-white ground with vertical trailing vines, small floral motifs and leaf shapes worked in a muted old blue and grey-blue palette. Its 140cm approximate width and 30cm vertical by 35cm horizontal repeat suggest a patterned sheer that hangs elegantly while still admitting plenty of light. The embroidery-like detailing feels crisp rather than heavy, so the overall effect is refined and airy rather than dense or ornate.

How to use it

Use this old-blue colourway where you want pattern on the window but a very pale, calm finish against the glass. It pairs neatly with chalky whites, silvered woods and soft blue-painted joinery.

A restrained old-blue sheer that adds pattern without losing lightness.

Pairs well with

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