Perdita Navy shows a softly faded navy ground with a decorative lattice of pale scrollwork and medallions across the surface. The overall effect is cool, layered and gently worn, with the pattern sitting clearly against the darker blue base.

About this fabric

This Oriana fabric is composed of 49% viscose, 26% linen, 17% cotton and 8% polyester, giving the cloth a naturally textured look with a subtle softened sheen. The repeat is large at approximately V 50cm / H 66cm, which suits the repeating medallion and scrolling framework visible in the image. The navy background reads as muted and slate-leaning rather than bright, so the ivory and sage details stand out without looking stark. At approximately 133cm wide, it offers a practical width for patterned upholstery or drapery projects where the motif needs room to breathe.

How to use it

Use this deep blue colourway to anchor a classic sitting room, especially with pale wood, stone or aged brass finishes. It also works well with crisp neutrals and layered indigo tones, letting the small hints of green and cream in the pattern add softness.

A cool navy ground with pale scrollwork gives this design a tailored, quietly elegant look.

Pairs well with

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