Fabric Spotlight - Blue & White
The next Fabric story focuses on our Blue designs, printed onto ivory linen and printed on our recently launched British manufactured Wallpapers.
Blue fabrics from Cabbages & Roses are perfect for creating a cool, fresh summer atmosphere while the sun shines. These beautiful shades of blue work wonderfully alongside crisp white interiors and the lush greenery of a summer garden.
We love mixing and matching stripes and florals from the Blue & White Collection, creating timeless combinations that feel both relaxed and elegant.
Our blue and white fabrics and wallpapers pair beautifully with the new Hatley Blue wallpaper, launched this year as part of our British made to order Wallpaper Collection.
Scroll down to discover our favourite pieces to pair with the Blue & White from the Cabbages & Roses Collection.

A refreshing combination of blue and white linens, paired with seasonal blue and white delphiniums, captures the essence of summer. The collection brings together stripes and florals in a harmonious mix, many of which can be used as statement fabrics or as complementary accents alongside their coordinating prints.
Paint Colours
Lime paints have a richness in their texture and the pigment reacts beautifully to different lights, gently changing with the seasons and times if the day.
Here are some of our picks to sit with light & airy colour schemes from the ever trusted Farrow & Ball.

Gentle tones match well with our blues.
Layer your space with rugs, antiques, book collections. Anything with a patina of colours brings texture and personality.

Pollyanna had been creating limited edition ceramic pieces, handmade and painted by her. These domestic objects are intricately painted, and primarily consider women that have escaped the walls of the gallery, overcrowded by the male gaze of the painters and paintings that once surrounded them.

From the Archive
Drawn from the Cabbages & Roses archive, blue and white has long been at the heart of our aesthetic. Looking back through years of imagery, it is a palette that has remained timeless and enduring, bringing a sense of calm and charm to every setting.
Whether styled in a country cottage, a coastal retreat or a city home, blue and white works beautifully across interiors of every kind.
