Tansy Blue

Tansy Blue has a cool, softened blue-grey ground scattered with tiny pale botanical marks. The close-set motif gives the swatch a finely textured appearance while retaining a calm, airy feel.

About this fabric

Made from 100% cotton, Tansy Blue is 136 cm wide and has a 21 cm vertical pattern repeat with a 19.4 cm horizontal repeat. Its small all-over botanical pattern is formed from delicate pale flecks and sprigs against a desaturated blue-grey background, creating gentle contrast rather than a bold floral statement. The supplied usage includes curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads, making this a versatile mid-weight textile for coordinated schemes. It must not be washed, bleached or ironed, and should be dry cleaned professionally.

How to use it

Use the cool blue-grey tone on a window seat, occasional chair or relaxed curtain, pairing it with chalky whites, soft greys and natural timber. Its small repeat also suits a bedspread where the botanical detail can read as a quiet all-over texture.

A cool, finely patterned cotton that brings quiet botanical detail to curtains, upholstery and bedspreads.

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