About this fabric

Fulwood Blue from the Olander collection by Colefax and Fowler is a textile fabric with a repeat of approximately V 10cm / H 14cm and a width of approximately 138cm. The composition is 64% Linen, 25% Cotton and 11% Polyamide, which helps the cloth keep a natural, lightly textured handle while retaining a crisp finish. In this colourway the blue is soft and cool rather than bright, and the small ivory motif sits clearly against it, giving the surface a fresh, slightly airy quality. The pattern is compact and regular, so the design feels neat and refined rather than bold. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM, it is a practical decorative fabric for interior use.

How to use it

Use Fulwood Blue on a tailored armchair, a bedroom headboard or relaxed curtains where the pale blue can keep the room feeling light. It pairs especially well with chalk white paint, limewashed oak and muted brass accents.

A crisp small-scale blue with a neat ivory leaf motif, easy to pair with pale woods and painted finishes.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Fulwood 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.
