About this fabric

The softly muted palette combines cool blue-grey birds and blossoms with taupe leaves, pale beige petals and small touches of olive green. Detailed branches weave through the design, creating a medium-scale scene of perched birds, roses and scattered floral sprigs. The fine crosshatched surface adds gentle visual texture across the printed-looking motif. Catalogued as a fabric with no performance features noted, this colourway makes its strongest impression through its layered botanical detail and quietly aged colouring.

How to use it

Use Sophie Col 5 on a statement armchair, occasional upholstery or full-length curtains where its warm taupe ground can soften a room. Pair it with blue-grey plains to draw out the cooler birds and flowers, or with natural linen tones to echo the beige background.

A softly muted bird-and-flower pattern that brings warm taupe depth and cool blue detail to upholstery or drapery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Sophie Col 5 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.
