Millbrook Old Blue

Millbrook Old Blue shows a fine all-over diamond pattern in a soft, weathered blue-green tone. The small-scale motif reads crisp and orderly, with just enough tonal variation to keep the surface lively.

About this fabric

This fabric has a compact geometric repeat, measuring approximately V 8cm / H 9cm, which gives the pattern a neat, woven-in rhythm across the cloth. The colour is a muted old blue with green-grey undertones, so it feels calmer and dustier than a bright navy or a clear sky blue. Its 138cm approximate width and blend of 40% viscose, 38% cotton, 18% linen and 4% polyester point to a versatile decorative textile with a natural, lightly textured handle. The small diamond motif is detailed enough to add interest up close, yet restrained enough to sit comfortably in a traditional scheme.

How to use it

Use this tone on upholstered chairs, cushions or a tailored blind where the tiny pattern can be appreciated without overwhelming the room. It pairs especially well with pale wood, brushed brass and faded neutrals, and brings a cool, settled note to panelled or painted interiors.

A muted blue-green ground that gives the tiny diamond pattern a refined, quietly traditional feel.

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.
