Bolo Powder has a gently faded powder-blue ground, overlaid with a repeated procession of elephants, miniature towers, diamonds and round emblems. Its softly mottled surface gives the pale colour a quiet, tactile depth.

About this fabric

The cool blue-grey ground is lightly textured, with ivory elephants carrying muted terracotta, taupe and sandy details across the repeat. Slim architectural motifs and framed diamond shapes punctuate the design, creating a balanced, decorative rhythm rather than a dense overall pattern. The woven surface catches the light softly, keeping the colourway calm and atmospheric. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Bolo Powder to bring a quiet, storybook quality to an occasional chair, headboard or relaxed pair of curtains. Pair its powder-blue tone with chalky whites, pale timber and muted terracotta accents drawn from the elephant details.

A softly faded powder-blue ground with a charming repeat of elephants, architectural towers and small ornamental motifs.

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