Hume Stripe Wallpaper Old Blue

Name: Hume Stripe Wallpaper Old Blue
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: 07189-05

Hume Stripe Wallpaper in Old Blue combines a very pale, cool blue-grey ground with slim vertical stripes edged by delicate ivory and white detailing. The restrained contrast gives the design a light, chalky presence rather than a strong graphic effect.

About this fabric

The wallpaper shows evenly spaced narrow vertical stripes in muted old blue, with fine pale edging and tiny repeating white motifs that add a subtle textural rhythm. Its cool blue-grey tone is softened by the warm ivory ground, while the low contrast keeps the overall appearance airy and calm. Made from 100% paper, it has an approximate vertical repeat of 0cm and horizontal repeat of 17cm. The narrow stripe scale can visually lift a wall without overwhelming the surrounding scheme.

How to use it

Pair this cool, pale blue-grey colourway with chalky whites, faded timber and soft ivory upholstery for a quietly layered room. Its vertical lines are especially effective in a bedroom, corridor or compact sitting room where a gentle sense of height is welcome.

Use its cool, chalky blue-grey stripes to bring quiet vertical rhythm to bedrooms, hallways or softly tailored sitting 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.
