Arundel Blue

Portobello FabricBF10904.1

Arundel Blue shows curling botanical stems and layered floral heads across a pale, softly textured ground. Its blue-grey palette moves from powdery blue to deeper slate and ink tones, giving the design a cool, gently faded character.

About this fabric

The pale blue-grey ground is crossed by curling stems and densely drawn florals in layered slate, powder and ink-blue tones. A fine, even woven texture keeps the botanical drawing crisp while the restrained contrast gives this colourway a cool, softly faded depth. It is made from 75% Linen, 19% Viscose and 6% Polyester, with a 127 cm (49.89") width. The 77 cm vertical and 63.5 cm horizontal repeats make pattern placement important across curtains and bedspreads. Care is professional dry cleaning only; do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use the cool blue-grey ground to bring a calm, collected note to full-length curtains or a coordinated bedspread. Pair it with chalky neutrals, weathered wood and deeper slate-blue accents to draw out the darker floral detailing.

A cool, softly faded floral for curtains and bedspreads in classic or layered interiors.

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