About this fabric

This colourway reads as a quiet, desaturated old blue, softened by a subtle grey-green cast rather than a bright or saturated blue. Broad vertical tonal bands are visible across the surface, while the fine horizontal texture adds understated variation as the light moves over it. Made from 100% Vinyl - Paper, it has an approximate vertical repeat of 61cm and no horizontal repeat. The restrained stripe and pale colour keep the overall effect calm, polished and lightly architectural.

How to use it

Use Old Blue across a bedroom, landing or sitting room to create a cool, softly layered backdrop. Pair its muted blue-grey tone with chalky whites, pale oak and gentle stone shades, or warm it with natural timber and aged brass.

Its cool, pale old-blue tone brings quiet definition to walls without feeling stark.

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.
