St James White

Name: St James White
Brand: Art of the Loom
SKU: STJMSWHITE

St James White places branching botanical forms across a warm white ground, creating a light, graphic colourway with clear contrast. Ochre foliage, deep navy stems and tiny turquoise centres give the design its distinctive character.

About this fabric

The warm white background keeps this colourway bright, while the ochre branches bring a softened golden note rather than a vivid yellow. Deep navy-purple stems define the scattered botanical shapes, and small turquoise flower centres add a cool point of colour. A fine, even woven texture is visible across the ground, lending subtle surface interest beneath the pattern. The medium-scale arrangement reads clearly without overwhelming the pale base.

How to use it

Use St James White on a bright occasional chair, headboard or relaxed curtain, then draw out its ochre and navy accents through cushions, painted furniture or trim. Its warm white ground works particularly well where a room needs pattern without losing a sense of light.

Use the warm white ground to lighten upholstery or drapery, with ochre and navy accents echoed in the surrounding scheme.

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.
