Hawthorn Maize

Name: Hawthorn Maize
Brand: Ashley Wilde
SKU: HAWTHORN

Hawthorn Maize pairs a light, linen-like ground with slender botanical stems and clouds of small maize-yellow blossoms. The overall effect is airy and understated, with the flowers giving the design a warm, sunlit lift.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and supplied as drapes only, this traditional fabric has a relaxed hand and a crisp enough structure for curtains. The design is set on a pale neutral ground, where fine olive stems and clustered yellow seed-heads read as bright but not brash. At 138cm wide, with a vertical repeat of 63cm and horizontal repeat of 69cm, the pattern has a generous, decorative rhythm that suits full-length window dressings. The 317gsm weight gives it enough substance to hang neatly while keeping the overall look light and breathable. Made in Spain, it has the feel of a classic botanical cloth with a fresh maize tone rather than a heavy gold.

How to use it

Use it for layered curtains in a room with painted woodwork, wicker, or weathered oak, where the maize accents can glow against calm finishes. It works especially well in a country-house scheme that needs colour without darkening the space.

A warm maize floral that brings gentle sunshine to traditional curtains.

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