Sereni Old Blue has a quietly aged blue ground that gives the floral pattern a soft, settled look. The pale motifs sit gently across the surface, creating a refined, slightly faded effect.

About this fabric

This colourway of Sereni reads as a cool, muted old blue with a soft greyed undertone, allowing the pale floral and leaf motifs to stand out without looking harsh. The design is a fabric, not wallpaper, with an approximate width of 140cm and a generous repeat of V 77cm / H 70cm, so the pattern has the scale to make an impression on drapery or upholstery. Its 50% Cotton, 29% Viscose and 21% Linen composition suggests a natural, softly textured handle that suits a relaxed but tailored scheme. The printed or woven motif appears lightly worn-in rather than crisp, which suits the vintage feel of the blue ground. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for reference.

How to use it

Use this blue in rooms that need pattern with a calm, timeworn note, especially alongside chalky neutrals, bleached wood and aged brass. It would work well on cushions, a statement armchair or full-length curtains where the soft blue can read gently in daylight.

A refined old-blue ground that softens the pale floral motifs for elegant scheme layering.

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.
