About this fabric

Woven in a 64% Linen, 21% Viscose, 8% Cotton, 4% Polyamide, 3% Acrylic blend, Marcel has a naturally textured handle and a refined surface detail. The repeat is approximately V 10cm / H 9cm, and the 139cm width makes it practical for a range of interior projects. In this Old Blue colourway, the pattern reads as cool and subdued rather than bright, with a softened, chalky depth that sits comfortably between blue and grey. The fine geometric motif is crisp enough to register from a distance, but the overall effect remains understated and quietly tailored.

How to use it

Use this muted blue on upholstered dining chairs, occasional seating or roman blinds where its small-scale geometry can add structure without dominating. It pairs especially well with pale timber, brushed metal and soft stone tones.

A restrained old blue with a tailored geometric look for elegant upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

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