About this fabric

The pattern is built from tall sage-green columns, framed by warm tan scalloped bands and separated by strong black vertical lines. Each column carries black leafy stems with paired, ochre-orange circular forms, some marked with small sage squares that add a subtle note of irregularity. The colour balance feels cool and muted overall, while the ochre elements provide concentrated warmth and depth. The visible surface has a fine, slightly napped or grainy texture rather than a flat, high-gloss finish. No composition, width, rub-test or performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool sage colourway on a structured armchair, headboard or occasional sofa where its vertical rhythm can be appreciated. Pair it with warm tan, charcoal and aged timber to draw out the pattern’s earthy contrast without competing with the ochre roundels.

A graphic, structured botanical stripe that suits tailored upholstery and rooms needing a cool, vintage-inspired accent.

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