About this fabric

This colourway is a muted old blue with a cool, slightly misty cast, so the leafy lattice reads clearly against the quieter background. The woven motif has a crisp, embroidered look that sits neatly on the linen-rich ground, giving the fabric a tailored rather than rustic feel. With a composition of 71% Linen and 29% Viscose, it has the natural texture associated with linen but enough viscose to keep the surface looking smoother and more refined. The large repeat, V 58cm / H 61cm approx, makes the design feel architectural across a wider span, and the 127cm approx width is practical for upholstery or full-length drapery. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √CM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use it on a pair of upholstered occasional chairs or a pelmet where the soft blue ground can read cleanly from across the room. It also works beautifully with chalky white paintwork, pale wood, and layered neutrals for a fresh, composed interior.

A refined old blue ground that suits tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

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