Cassandra Navy pairs a dusky blue ground with an airy, hand-painted floral trail that feels gently aged and luminous. The pattern reads detailed but softened, with pale blossoms and foliage standing out against the deeper background.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Cassandra Navy from Colefax and Fowler’s Oriana collection has a naturally textured look that suits its softly diffused pattern. The design repeats at approximately V 67cm and H 68cm across a width of about 137cm, giving the trailing floral motif a generous, balanced scale. In this colourway the ground is a muted navy with a slightly weathered, chalky cast, while the flowers and leaves lift in faded coral, blush, sage and pale cream. The overall effect is decorative but not heavy, with the linen weave keeping the surface relaxed and tactile.

How to use it

Use this colourway for full-length curtains, relaxed Roman blinds or a statement upholstered chair where the dusky navy ground can settle into the room. It works especially well with warm wood, painted off-whites and aged brass, letting the soft coral accents add warmth without overpowering the scheme.

A painterly navy ground with softly faded florals that reads elegant rather than bold.

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.
