About this fabric
This colourway reads as a pale old blue with a soft grey undertone, so it feels restrained rather than bright. The weave is visible but refined, with the cloth taking the light in a quietly textured way rather than showing a shine. It is a practical 140cm-wide fabric in 59% viscose, 16% polyester, 15% cotton and 10% linen, with no repeat to interrupt the surface. The balanced fibre blend and substantial-looking weave make it well suited to both upholstery and drapery where a calm, woven texture is wanted.
How to use it
Use it for a relaxed sofa, bench cushion or full-length curtains where the cool blue-grey tone can soften stronger woods and stone. It pairs especially well with chalk white, pale oak and deeper navy accents.
A quietly tonal blue that feels easy and versatile across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with
Stratford Old Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
