Rushmere Wallpaper Old Blue

Rushmere Wallpaper Old Blue combines a soft, cool blue-grey ground with a closely spaced pattern of fine leafy sprigs. Its pale, low-contrast colouring gives the botanical design a light, gently faded appearance.

About this fabric
The small-scale sprigs are arranged in a continuous, closely packed repeat, with muted old-blue foliage standing out softly against the pale ground. The colour reads cool and powdery rather than bright, giving the paper a calm, quietly timeworn character. This wallpaper is made from 100% paper, with an approximate vertical repeat of 11cm and horizontal repeat of 13cm. The compact motif creates an even, finely detailed surface across the sheet without becoming visually heavy.
How to use it
Use Old Blue across a bedroom, landing or small sitting room where its pale blue-grey tone can sit comfortably with chalky whites, natural oak and softly worn painted furniture. The small leafy repeat also works well behind open shelving or around a quiet reading nook.
Use this cool, delicate leafy paper to bring a quiet traditional pattern to bedrooms, hallways or understated sitting rooms.

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.
