Belsay blue

Belsay Blue shows a painterly branch-and-blossom design scattered across a pale powder-blue ground. The overall effect is light, airy and softly romantic, with the multicoloured petals standing out delicately against the cool background.

About this fabric
Woven in 95% cotton and 5% linen, this fabric has a dry, natural handle that suits its softly textured look. At 230gsm with a usable width of 140cm, it sits comfortably in the mid-weight range and is suitable for curtains, blinds and soft furnishings. The cool blue ground gives the design a crisp, clean feel, while the floral motif adds pink, coral, lilac and butter-yellow accents for a lively painterly finish. A 70cm horizontal repeat and 60cm vertical repeat help create the full branch effect across the width of the cloth. Iron safe and dry clean only, Belsay Blue has an easy elegance that reads fresh rather than overly formal.
How to use it
Use this pale blue colourway where you want a room to feel bright and gently decorative, especially with white-painted woodwork, weathered oak or soft grey upholstery. It works well in relaxed country schemes, nursery spaces or quiet sitting rooms that can take a romantic floral feature.
A soft powder-blue ground keeps the painterly blossom branches feeling fresh and airy.

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