About this fabric

Woven in 58% viscose, 29% linen and 13% polyester, Hemsworth Old Blue has a balanced handle and a lightly textured appearance that suits either upholstery or curtains. The design reads as a small-scale geometric pattern, with tiny diamond-like forms sitting in a calm, faded blue-grey ground. Its 140cm approximate width and V 0cm / H 0cm repeat make it straightforward to use across larger schemes without pattern matching concerns. The overall effect is cool, understated and slightly antiqued, with the weave catching the light in a gentle, matte way.

How to use it

Use this soft blue-grey in schemes that need colour without brightness, such as a tailored sofa, occasional chair or relaxed drapery. It pairs especially well with chalk white, pale oak and deeper navy accents.

A restrained blue-toned weave that works beautifully on tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

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