About this fabric

The Old Blue colourway is a muted powder blue with a slightly grey cast, contrasted by fine white stems and small leaves that form an all-over pattern. Its delicate botanical tracery remains visibly defined across the swatch without becoming stark against the cool ground. Made from 100% paper, this wallpaper has a vertical repeat of 21cm on a half drop and an approximate horizontal repeat of 35cm. The compact scale and restrained contrast keep the design feeling light rather than dominant.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey colourway to bring gentle pattern to a bedroom, hallway or bathroom, pairing it with chalky whites, pale timber and soft blue textiles. Its white vine detail also works neatly with painted furniture and quiet, tonal accessories.

A cool, pale blue botanical paper for quiet bedrooms, bathrooms or softly layered country interiors.

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