About this fabric

The design is visibly generous in scale, with a long-tailed bird at its centre surrounded by sweeping leaves, finely etched foliage and rounded floral heads. Cream remains the dominant tone, while the muted taupe-grey linework gives the motifs definition without making the surface feel stark. A lightly visible woven grain sits beneath the detailed pattern, adding gentle texture to the softly mottled ground. The overall effect is quietly decorative, with the bird and foliage reading as an old botanical illustration rather than a bold, high-contrast print.

How to use it

Pair this warm cream-and-taupe colourway with natural timber, chalky painted furniture and muted linen upholstery; use it on relaxed curtains or a statement chair where the bird motif can be seen in full.

Use this softly weathered cream colourway to bring illustrated botanical detail to curtains, cushions or occasional upholstery.

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.
