Andorra Stripe Old Blue pairs a calm, washed blue ground with narrow decorative stripe panels in a softer ivory tone. The result is composed and quietly traditional, with enough contrast to keep the stripe readable without feeling sharp.

About this fabric

This fabric is woven in a 53% Linen, 31% Viscose, 12% Cotton, 4% Polyester blend, giving the surface a softly handled, slightly dry textile character with a gentle lustre rather than a glossy finish. The image shows a muted old blue ground that reads cool and subdued, with repeated vertical stripe bands in a pale beige-ivory pattern that add rhythm and structure. At approximately 134cm wide and with a repeat of V 4cm / H 33cm approx, it is designed for a measured, tailored look that works neatly across larger pieces. The overall effect is smart but relaxed, making the stripe feel refined rather than formal.

How to use it

Use this old blue on a pair of upholstered chairs or a bench to introduce quiet pattern without overpowering the room. It also works well at window height, where the pale stripe detail will catch the light and soften the cooler blue ground.

A restrained blue stripe 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 Andorra Stripe 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.
