About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric is woven in 100% cotton and has a repeat of approximately V 3cm / H 3cm, which keeps the small-scale pattern compact and orderly across the width of around 136cm. In this colourway, the blue reads as muted and cool, softened by pale grey and a gentle mineral note that stops it from feeling bright. The tiny linked motif has a clean, almost embroidered rhythm, with the lighter ground making the design feel airy rather than heavy. It is well suited to scheme-led interiors where a restrained pattern is wanted with enough character to register from a little distance.

How to use it

Use it to bring a smart, calm note to armchairs, dining chairs or Roman blinds, especially alongside chalky whites and pale timber. The cool blue-grey tone also sits well with deeper navy, silvered oak or brushed brass.

A cool, understated blue that works beautifully in tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

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