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.

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.
