About this fabric

The design is a dense, medium-scale floral arrangement, with curling terracotta stems and pale leafy and petalled forms layered across the ground. Blush pink and sage-grey accents keep the red tones muted, while the cream base brings light through the overall colourway. The visible woven texture gently breaks up the pattern, giving it depth rather than a flat printed appearance. This is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this colourway on an armchair, headboard or occasional sofa where its chalky cream, dusty blush and muted terracotta can sit comfortably with warm timber, aged brass and soft sage walls.

Use this softly coloured floral upholstery to bring gentle pattern and muted warmth to a traditional or country-style room.

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.
