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.

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.
