Pennington Soft Blue

Pennington Soft Blue pairs a pale ivory ground with cool blue scrolling foliage, creating a calm botanical colourway with a distinctly fresh, airy character. The repeating vertical arrangement gives the design a clear sense of movement across the cloth.

About this fabric

The swatch shows curling stems, feathery leaves and small clustered sprigs in several muted blue tones, set against a warm pale ivory background. The lighter blue marks keep the pattern delicate, while deeper blue accents give definition to the sweeping botanical forms. It is woven from 44% linen, 26% cotton, 24% viscose and 6% polyester, with a 132 cm width. The pattern repeats every 32 cm vertically and 44 cm horizontally, and the supplied usage is curtains and bedspreads; professional dry cleaning is required and the fabric must not be washed, bleached or ironed.

How to use it

Use the cool soft-blue foliage at full curtain length to bring a gentle garden note to a bedroom or sitting room, especially alongside ivory upholstery and pale natural woods. On a bedspread, the 32 cm vertical repeat can provide a softly structured botanical surface without overwhelming the room.

A cool, softly traditional botanical for curtains and bedspreads, with blue detail standing clearly against an ivory ground.

Pairs well with

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