Millbrook Old Blue
Millbrook FabricF4223-04
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.
Pairs well with
A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Millbrook 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.
