About this fabric

Hallam Blue from the Olander collection by Colefax and Fowler is a patterned fabric with a refined, light hand and a clearly visible vertical stripe running through the ground. The composition is 36% linen, 31% cotton, 23% viscose and 10% polyester, giving the cloth a natural-looking texture with a slightly crisp finish in the weave. Its repeat is approximately V 40cm / H 64cm and the width is approximately 129cm, which suits regular pattern planning for curtains or upholstered pieces. In this colourway the ground reads as a soft powder blue, while the trailing leaves and small blossoms sit in muted blue-green and pale neutral accents for a calm, lifted finish. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

The cool blue ground works especially well with painted whites, pale oak and other washed neutrals. It is a good choice for smart curtains, blinds or a tailored chair that needs a gentle decorative note without heavy contrast.

Use it for elegant curtains or light upholstery where the pale blue ground can keep a room feeling fresh.

Pairs well with

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