About this fabric

The fabric shows a fine, visible woven grid beneath a detailed repeat of coral-pink and blush flowers, green leaves, pale birds and ochre-brown animal forms. Its French navy ground reads muted rather than saturated, giving the colourway a weathered, dusky depth while allowing the floral accents to remain distinct. The closely packed drawing creates a medium-scale impression overall, with numerous smaller blooms and trailing stems filling the ground. No composition, width, rub test or performance features were supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool navy colourway on a statement armchair, upholstered bench or full-length curtains, balancing its pink and green detailing with aged wood, chalky neutrals and warm brass.

Pair the softened navy ground with warm timber, faded rose and natural linen tones.

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