About this fabric

This 100% linen fabric has a lightly textured natural ground, interrupted by elongated blue paisley motifs and closely detailed floral and geometric stripe bands. The blue reads as softened and slightly greyed rather than bright, creating a cool, understated contrast against the ivory background. At 132 cm wide, it is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. The design has a 24 cm vertical repeat and a 66 cm horizontal repeat, so pattern placement should be considered when cutting larger upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use Portobello Blue to bring a cool, quietly decorative note to an ivory or pale-grey room, particularly on a tailored chair, relaxed loose cover or full-length curtain. Repeat the blue through plain cushions or painted joinery to balance the vertical paisley and stripe layout.

A cool, quietly patterned linen suited to tailored upholstery, 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 Portobello 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.
