Poplar Iris

Poplar Iris shows a softly mottled floral texture in cool iris violet and lavender-grey tones. The pattern sits close to the surface, giving the cloth a layered, almost weathered look.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Poplar Iris is supplied as a drapes-only fabric and measures 140cm wide. The design has a 24cm vertical and horizontal repeat, and the 357g per linear metre weight gives it a substantial curtain-making feel. Visually, the colourway balances smoky mauve with pale lilac highlights, so the botanical texture reads crisp rather than busy. Its matte, broken-up surface creates depth without shine, making the pattern feel calm and tailored.

How to use it

Use this muted iris shade for curtains in rooms that need a cooler, more composed accent, especially against pale plaster, stone, or soft grey walls. It pairs neatly with walnut, brushed brass, and restrained florals in deeper plum or sage.

The cool violet-grey tone gives this textured floral a refined, quietly dramatic finish for elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

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