Berwick Blue

Portobello FabricBF10918.1

Berwick Blue combines a warm beige background with densely arranged blue-grey flowers, leaves and curling stems. The cool, softened contrast gives the traditional floral design a quietly composed appearance.

About this fabric

This Portobello fabric has a 50% viscose, 33% linen and 17% polyester composition, with a 132 cm width. Its detailed floral design repeats every 39 cm vertically and 66 cm horizontally, creating a continuous arrangement of blossoms, foliage and scrolling stems across the cloth. In this colourway, the blue-grey motifs read as muted and slightly cool against the softly warm beige ground, while the close-up reveals a fine, gently granular textile surface. It is specified for curtains and bedspreads and must be professionally dry cleaned; it should not be washed, bleached or ironed.

How to use it

Use Berwick Blue for full-length curtains where its cool blue-grey foliage can temper warm beige, cream or natural-toned interiors. It also suits a coordinated bedspread when the room benefits from a traditional floral pattern with restrained contrast rather than bright colour.

The cool blue-grey floral pattern brings a quietly formal, traditional note to curtains and coordinated bedspreads.

Pairs well with

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