About this fabric

The fine textile surface is coloured in a calm grey taupe, with pale grey-white stems and foliage winding between detailed bees, pumpkins, pears, berries and flowers. The pattern’s accents move from plum, raspberry and rust to soft blue, yellow and leafy green, creating depth without overpowering the subdued ground. Repeated bee motifs add a distinctive focal detail, while the fruit and botanical elements give the design an abundant, hand-illustrated character. No composition, width, rub-test or performance figures have been supplied for this fabric, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended upholstery or drapery application.

How to use it

Use this muted grey-taupe colourway on a statement chair, bench or relaxed pair of curtains, balancing its plum, rust and blue details with warm ivory, weathered wood and plain linen-look companions.

Pair the softened taupe ground with natural timber, warm creams and subtly coloured accents to let the illustrated garden motif lead.

Pairs well with

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