Hugo Old Blue has a softly mottled, woven appearance, with tiny geometric lines that read as a delicate zigzag from a distance. The overall effect is a pale, misty blue with a restrained, airy feel.

About this fabric

This colourway of Hugo keeps the pattern subtle: the small-scale repeat of approx. V 3cm / H 1cm creates fine, textural banding rather than a bold motif. The surface shows a cool, washed blue balanced by chalky pale neutrals, so the design feels light and slightly weathered instead of bright. Woven at approx. 141cm wide and made from 37% viscose, 22% linen, 18% cotton, 14% polyester, 4% wool, 3% polyamide and 2% acrylic, it has the look of a versatile decorative fabric with gentle structure. The palette is understated and fresh, making the pattern recede into a calm, layered texture rather than dominate a room.

How to use it

Use it on an upholstered armchair, headboard or cushions where the cool blue will soften wood and metal finishes. It also suits relaxed curtains in a light-filled room, where the woven texture can read with extra depth.

A quietly refined blue weave that works well for tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

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