About this fabric
Catalogued as a fabric, Bee Dance Black is built around a deep black ground that gives the surrounding colours a pronounced, jewel-like intensity. Purple berries, pink and orange fruit, and a golden sunflower punctuate the field, while bees, leaves and small flowers create a densely illustrated rhythm. The dark surface allows the brighter motifs to hold the eye rather than merging into one flat tone. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification; the appeal of this colourway lies in its layered botanical imagery and dramatic contrast.
How to use it
Use Bee Dance Black on a statement chair, footstool or upholstered bench where its dark ground can frame the brighter fruit and floral motifs. Balance it with warm wood, muted green and small touches of brass to echo the autumnal oranges and golden sunflower.
Use the black ground to anchor jewel-toned botanical upholstery in a richly layered scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bee Dance Black 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.
