About this fabric

The Old Blue background reads as cool and muted, sitting between a gentle blue and a greyed sage tone, while the small motifs appear in a soft pale white. Evenly spaced across the surface, each starburst has fine radiating points that create a subtle all-over rhythm rather than a bold floral statement. The surface appears smooth and softly matte in the swatch, with the low contrast keeping the pattern understated. Made from 100% paper, this wallpaper has an approximate vertical and horizontal repeat of 9cm.

How to use it

Use this cool, washed blue-grey as a quiet backdrop in a bedroom, landing or sitting room, pairing it with warm whites, pale timber and linen textures to balance its gentle tone. Its small repeat works particularly well across compact walls and smaller architectural spaces.

A softly muted Old Blue ground and pale starburst repeat bring quiet pattern to bedrooms, hallways and sitting rooms.

Pairs well with

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