Mariella Old Blue

Marius FabricF4860-04

Mariella Old Blue shows a trailing botanical design on a warm ivory linen ground, with softly painted flowers and leaves in washed blue, sage and pale celadon tones. The overall effect is airy and refined, with the pattern sitting lightly rather than feeling heavy.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and printed with a repeat of approx. V 86cm / H 71cm on a width of approx. 141cm, this colourway has a spacious, decorative rhythm suited to full-length window treatments. The visible ground is a soft creamy ivory, which keeps the larger floral branches from reading too dense, while the old blue petals and leaves add a cool, slightly faded charm. Touches of pale green and muted yellow soften the palette further, giving the design a calm, lived-in freshness rather than a bright coastal look. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM, it is presented as a decorative fabric with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Use Mariella Old Blue for curtains in rooms with painted timber, pale walls or antique furniture, where the washed blue tones can echo porcelain and china. It also works well for relaxed blinds or a statement accent chair if you want the floral to feel tailored rather than overly sweet.

A gentle blue floral that brings a fresh, English-country feel to relaxed curtains or elegant blind panels.

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.
