About this fabric

Lombard Blue from the Theodore collection by Colefax and Fowler is composed of 67% Linen, 26% Viscose and 7% Polyester, with a width of approximately 124cm and a repeat of V 64cm / H 62cm approx. The fabric presents a formal damask in soft slate-blue, dove blue and warm taupe, balanced by a creamy background that keeps the pattern light rather than heavy. Its woven texture has a gentle lustre and enough body to read well across both furnishings and window treatments. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code are part of the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this colourway where you want pattern without harsh contrast: it works especially well with painted woodwork, pale stone and muted navy accents. The cool blue notes keep the damask fresh, while the taupe scrolls soften the overall effect in a traditional room.

A refined large-scale damask that suits elegant upholstery or drapery.

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