Forbidden Fruit Envy

Curious Creatures by Becca Who FabricFRBDDNENVY

Forbidden Fruit Envy is built around a deep peacock-teal ground, densely scattered with vivid botanical clusters, fruit and curling serpents. The dark base gives the colourway an especially nocturnal, jewel-like depth.

About this fabric

The large-scale design combines pomegranate halves and whole fruit with fern sprays, tangled foliage and richly layered purple, red and orange flowers. Black-and-white snakes wind through the central floral groupings, creating a striking contrast against the saturated teal background. Small pink and red accents lift the darker composition without making it feel bright or airy. The surface shown appears smooth rather than visibly piled or heavily textured, while no performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this drapery to bring a deep teal focal point to a room with dark timber, plum upholstery or aged brass. Keep surrounding furnishings relatively quiet so the purple flowers, scarlet fruit and pale serpentine details retain their visual impact.

A deep peacock-teal ground creates a dramatic backdrop for richly coloured botanical drapery.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Forbidden Fruit Envy 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.
