Rosalind in Old Blue/Green shows a delicate trellis of tiny florals and leaves on a pale ground, giving the design a light, refined presence. The soft blue-green and olive tones read quietly aged rather than bright or fresh.

About this fabric

Rosalind Old Blue/Green from the Olander collection by Colefax and Fowler is a fabric with a repeating floral trellis motif and an approximate vertical repeat of 39cm and horizontal repeat of 33cm. The ground is a soft off-white, while the trailwork mixes muted old blue with sage-olive leaves, creating a gentle, lived-in contrast rather than a crisp one. Its 132cm approximate width and blended composition of 33% cotton, 31% linen, 28% viscose and 8% polyester make it a versatile cloth for schemes that want a decorative pattern without heavy visual weight. The overall finish looks lightly textured and airy, with the cooler blue-green notes keeping it calm and understated. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this colourway where you want pattern, but only in a softened, almost whispering form: bedrooms, sitting rooms or relaxed dining spaces all suit its muted blue-green tone. It pairs especially well with chalky paint colours, pale timber and aged brass.

Its pale, muted palette feels refined and airy, ideal for layered country-house schemes.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Rosalind Old Blue/Green 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.
