About this fabric

The blue-grey ground has a gently weathered depth, with lighter threads creating subtle linear movement across the surface. Small ivory sprigs repeat in an even, informal arrangement, standing out clearly without feeling bold or oversized. The woven-looking texture keeps the botanical pattern relaxed rather than highly polished. Its balanced scale and visually versatile weight make it suitable for upholstery or drapery.

How to use it

Use this cool iris-blue colourway to bring quiet botanical detail to a window seat, occasional chair or full-length curtain. Warm timber, ivory upholstery and muted stone tones will soften the blue-grey ground.

Pair the cool blue-grey ground and ivory sprigs with natural wood, chalky neutrals and softly tailored upholstery or curtains.

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.
