About this fabric

The design is a large-scale botanical arrangement of open flowers, curling stems and finely drawn leaves, with lavender and muted blue petals standing out against the dark background. Sage, pale green and warm tan accents add depth without softening the dramatic contrast of the near-black ground. The varied tones catch the light differently across the intricate floral forms, giving the pattern a layered, tapestry-like visual presence. No composition, width, usage rating or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway, so suitability should be confirmed for the intended application.

How to use it

Use Rowe VIII to bring concentrated colour to a reading chair, headboard or statement sofa, balancing its near-black ground with plain sage, charcoal or warm tan upholstery accents. Its lavender-blue flowers work especially well in rooms that can carry an ornate, gallery-like focal point.

The dense, full-scale floral layout and visually substantial appearance make Rowe VIII an upholstery-led choice for statement seating and occasional pieces.

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