Name: Oberon Old Blue
Brand: Colefax and Fowler

Oberon Old Blue has a pale, airy ground with a cool blue-grey embroidered pattern that reads quietly elegant rather than stark. The large looping leaf motif feels light and fluid across the sheer cloth.

About this fabric

Woven from 50% linen and 50% viscose, this sheer fabric has a relaxed natural base with a smoother, softer finish from the viscose content. The design repeats in a generous vertical and horizontal rhythm, with a V 40cm / H 32cm approx repeat that creates those tall oval loops across the cloth. In this colourway the ground appears warm ivory while the embroidery sits in muted old-blue and grey tones, giving the pattern a softened, slightly weathered look. At 127cm approx wide, it is well suited to full-length window treatments where the subtle sheen and open weave can catch the light.

How to use it

Use it for curtains or layered sheers in rooms that need a gentle, tailored finish; the cool old-blue threadwork sits especially well against painted whites, pale stone, and chalky greys. It would also work beautifully in a bedroom or sitting room where you want pattern without heaviness.

Let the airy ivory ground and cool blue-grey embroidery do the talking in a clean, tailored room.

Pairs well with

Oberon 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.
