Hester Classic Blue combines a deep, cool blue ground with repeating ivory and pale blue botanical trails. Slender wavy lines frame each floral column, creating a clearly defined vertical stripe with a traditional English feel.

About this fabric

The design is formed from alternating deep blue floral bands and narrow cream-edged stripes, with leafy stems and small flowers picked out in ivory, soft blue and hints of lilac. Its vertical arrangement gives the pattern a measured rhythm, while the linen surface keeps the colourway natural rather than glossy. Woven from 100% linen and approximately 137cm wide, it is suitable for curtains and fixed upholstery, with Contract and General Domestic upholstery grades. Allow 3% shrinkage; after-care is Delicate Wash at 30°C or Dry Clean.

How to use it

Pair this cool, deep blue with chalky whites, pale timber and soft blue upholstery for a fresh country scheme. Use the vertical floral bands on curtains to emphasise height, or on a tailored chair where the ivory foliage can stand out clearly.

Use the deep blue ground to bring crisp contrast to pale upholstery, tailored curtains or classic country interiors.

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