About this fabric

The blue ground reads cool and softened rather than saturated, giving the coral-pink flowers a gently faded, painterly quality. Large tulip-like blooms alternate with smaller red-pink buds, while feathery green leaves and cream, teardrop-shaped forms add definition to the repeat. Fine light and dark threads create a subtle checked texture across the cloth, adding depth beneath the printed-looking botanical design. No performance features are noted in the supplied details.

How to use it

Use the denim-blue ground to bring calm colour to a chair, bench or pair of curtains, then pick up the coral petals with terracotta, dusty rose or warm timber accents. The cream details offer an easy link to pale walls and natural upholstery tones.

Pair the muted blue ground with natural woods and warm pink or terracotta accents.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Benezet Colour 8 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.
