About this fabric

The saturated green has a cool, leafy depth, while the white outlines create a crisp contrast across the surface. A prominent flowering branch rises through the centre of the design, with smaller floral and bird-like fragments appearing around it. The subtly mottled textile texture softens the brightness of the colour without disguising its strong presence. Catalogued as an Outdoor fabric, this colourway is well suited to relaxed upholstery where its botanical scale can be clearly appreciated.

How to use it

Bring the lively basil tone into outdoor cushions, bench seating or occasional upholstery, balancing it with warm timber, off-white canvas and natural woven accessories. The chalk-white motif also makes it easy to connect with pale stone or light-painted furniture.

Use this vivid basil green with pale neutrals, timber and natural outdoor textures for relaxed seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Friendly Folk Basil Outdoor 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.
