Fabienne Wallcovering Old Blue

Naturals III WallpaperW7023-07

Fabienne Wallcovering Old Blue has a very pale, cool blue-grey tone that reads softly against the white background of the swatch. Fine horizontal striations give the surface a quiet woven character rather than a printed motif.

About this wallpaper

This Colefax and Fowler wallcovering is catalogued in the Naturals III collection and is composed of 87% linen and 13% wool. The Old Blue colourway is restrained and lightly desaturated, sitting close to grey while retaining a cool blue cast. Across the swatch, delicate horizontal lines and slight tonal variation catch the light without forming a repeating pattern. The supplied repeat is approximately V 0cm / H 0cm.

How to use it

Use Old Blue across a room where its cool, pale blue-grey tone can act as a calm architectural backdrop. Pair it with chalky whites, weathered timber or softly contrasting grey upholstery so the fine horizontal texture remains visible.

Use this cool, pale blue-grey wallcovering to create a calm backdrop with subtle woven texture.

Pairs well with

Fabienne Wallcovering Old Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
