Forbidden Fruit Venom
Curious Creatures by Becca Who FabricFRBDDNVENM
Forbidden Fruit Venom makes an immediate impression with its near-black ground and densely arranged botanical imagery. Saturated pomegranates, berries and violet-purple flowers are threaded through fern fronds and curling snakes for a richly theatrical colourway.

About this fabric
The design combines vivid crimson fruit, open pomegranate halves and small red berries with clusters of purple flowers, dark foliage and sweeping fern shapes. White-edged snakes wind through the central floral areas, adding a crisp graphic contrast against the black background. The colour balance is deep and cool overall, while the fruit introduces flashes of warm, jewel-like red that keep the pattern visually animated. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this fabric.
How to use it
Use this colourway where a room can accommodate a confident, immersive statement: an occasional chair, pair of curtains or upholstered screen against charcoal, aubergine or deep berry tones. Pick up the small ivory snake markings sparingly as a highlight, rather than softening the design with pale neutrals.
A dramatic black-ground design that brings saturated berry reds, deep purples and curling serpentine forms into richly layered schemes.

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