About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this Flori fabric has the relaxed look of natural fibre cloth while still being specified for fixed upholstery and rated to 30,000 Martindale, making it suitable for general domestic use. The design is a repeating leafy floral drawn in muted powder blue and sage-leaning aqua tones across an off-white background, so the pattern feels fresh and lightly weathered rather than crisp or bright. Its 137cm width and approximately 45cm vertical repeat make it practical for larger pieces where the flowing motif can be allowed to settle across cushions or chair backs. It is also FR rated to BS5852 Part 1 Source 0 and 1, with washing instructions allowing 30C care and around 3% shrinkage.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a classic armchair, banquette or bed end where the soft blue ground can lift pale timber, white paintwork and washed oak. It works especially well with chalky neutrals and sea-glass accents for a calm, coastal-leaning scheme.

A fresh botanical linen that suits elegant upholstery in calm, light-filled rooms.

Pairs well with

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