Wren Stripe Old Blue reads as a very pale, washed blue stripe set against a soft ivory ground. The narrow patterned bands feel airy and understated, with a fine foliate texture that keeps the design from looking plain.

About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric is a 132cm-wide textile in 41% polyester, 35% linen and 24% cotton, with a repeat of approximately V 8cm and H 33cm. In this colourway, the stripe appears as a cool, diluted old blue that sits lightly on the ground rather than cutting sharply against it. The woven surface has a quiet, slightly slubby linen-cotton character that softens the crispness of the stripe and gives the pattern a gently relaxed finish. It is a versatile mid-weight fabric that works well where a decorative stripe needs enough body for upholstery, but still feels easy for curtains and soft furnishings.

How to use it

Use it to bring a calm, tailored note to country bedrooms, coastal sitting rooms or a neatly upholstered armchair. The pale blue keeps the stripe fresh and bright, especially beside chalk white paintwork, bleached woods and soft grey upholstery.

A restrained stripe that suits tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains alike.

Pairs well with

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