About this fabric

The design is filled with curling stems, pointed leaves, stylised blooms and paisley-like botanical motifs, creating a medium-scale pattern with considerable visual depth. Against the deep navy ground, warm cream highlights stand out beside cooler blue-grey and subdued sage tones, while small pale dots and outlines sharpen the detail. The overall colourway feels cool, composed and richly decorative rather than bright, with the lighter motifs catching the eye across the dark ground. No composition, width or rub-test specification is supplied for this listing.

How to use it

Pair this cool navy colourway with chalky neutrals, aged timber and brushed metal, using it on a statement chair, window seat or full-length curtains. Repeat the muted sage-blue and cream accents in cushions or painted joinery for a cohesive scheme.

Use this richly detailed navy colourway to bring layered botanical pattern and quiet contrast to classic upholstery or curtains.

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