About this fabric

The background reads as a muted charcoal-grey with a subtle taupe cast, giving this colourway a calm, slightly weathered depth. Ivory leaves repeat across the surface in an organic, medium-scale arrangement, with fine darker veins defining each lobed silhouette. A visible woven texture and gentle tonal variation stop the ground from appearing flat, while keeping the pale leaves clear and graphic. Overall, this is a restrained botanical colourway with a cool, relaxed character rather than a bright or high-contrast effect.

How to use it

Use the cool grey ground to settle a relaxed sitting room, pairing it with chalky whites, pale timber and soft blue-grey accents. The ivory leaf repeat would work equally well on a casual chair, Roman blind or full-length curtain.

The cool grey ground and ivory leaf repeat suit relaxed upholstery, cushions, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Ferndown colour 9 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.
