Dexter Old Blue
Romilly FabricF4947-05
Dexter Old Blue shows a softly rippling geometric pattern in faded blue, ivory and pale stone tones. The overall effect is calm and slightly worn-in, with the design reading as gentle movement rather than sharp contrast.

About this fabric
This fabric has a 22cm by 22cm approximate repeat and a width of 134cm, with a composition of 47% Cotton, 40% Viscose and 13% Polyester. The weave in the swatch looks lightly textured and restrained, which suits the muted old-blue motif and keeps the pattern feeling refined rather than bold. Against the creamy ground, the blue notes appear washed and airy, with a touch of sage-like softness as the light catches the surface. It is catalogued as Fabric with no performance features noted, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code are supplied for specification reference.
How to use it
Use this colourway on a slipper chair, bench or tailored cushions where the soft blue zigzag can add movement without overpowering the room. It also works well with pale oak, chalky whites and other cooled neutrals.
A muted blue-and-cream geometric that brings quiet movement to classic interiors.

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.
