Can I use blue fabrics in a bedroom as well as a kitchen? Which of your blues and cold and which are warm?
There are of course many different shades of blue as with all colours; from the cooler shade of Cornflower and Indigo, to the softest shades of Lake Blue and Speedwell. Teal, another blue, takes its name from a bird named the 'Common Teal' which has a Teal stripe on its head. Teal is a mixture of blue and green. It can be mixed with white to make it lighter or with grey for the adverse effect.
Teal is a strong colour, but being from the blue family of shades it is a rare combination of strength and quietness in one. There are few colours that you can use throughout a whole scheme and not feel utterly overwhelmed, teal is one of those. With such a breadth of tones it can cheerfully be employed for Teal upholstery fabric, underfoot as rugs and on the walls as the backdrop to the lot.

Duck Egg blue is our best-selling blue colour and was inspired by the Farrow and Ball colour 'Light Blue'. Vanessa created her first Duck Egg Blue living room design over 25 years ago, hand mixing paint and printed curtain fabrics to blend with the room. She was so charmed by this colour that she took it on into her collections over the next 19 years and it has proved to last the test of time. The shade of duck egg blue colour fabric is a hard colour to describe; neither just blue, nor green, nor grey, but a blend of all of them. It is a colour that never dates in our view and is very easy on the eye; it doesn't challenge the eye in busy kitchens and living room designs and equally creates a serene feeling of calm. The main Duck Egg blue fabric designs are Cow Parsley, Acorn and Leaf, Swallow Dive, Down to Earth, and, Flora and Fauna, to name a few.
There are many coordinating fabrics for the main Duck Egg Blue fabrics namely stripes, spots and plains. See French Ticking, Stockholm Stripe, Pretty Maids, Plain Dotty, and many more.
