Crocodilia Ebony makes an immediate impression with its almost-black ground and densely illustrated jungle scene. Mirrored cranes, reptilian forms and layered foliage create a theatrical, symmetrical composition.

About this fabric

Against the near-black background, olive and moss-green leaves are interwoven with pale, finely drawn fronds and curling botanical stems. Rust, dusty terracotta, muted gold and soft cream accents bring restrained warmth to the otherwise deep, shadowy colourway. Pale cranes and large reptilian figures anchor the repeat, while cream and blush-toned flowers provide small points of light. The symmetrical layout and saturated dark ground give this fabric a particularly dramatic, luxe presence.

How to use it

Use Crocodilia Ebony to bring depth to a richly layered room, especially on a statement chair, pair of cushions or full-length curtains. Echo its olive foliage with moss or khaki textiles, then pick up the rust and muted gold details in lamps, trims or ceramics.

A dramatic dark-ground jungle repeat for statement upholstery, cushions, curtains or blinds.

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