Verna Ink pairs a deep navy ground with trailing botanical stems, pale leaves and bright yellow fruit. The contrast gives the fabric a fresh, graphic look that still feels elegant.

About this fabric

Woven in Turkey from 90% Recycled Polyester and 10% Polyester, Verna Ink is specified for drapes only and has a 142cm width. The design uses a conversational botanical repeat with a 36cm vertical and horizontal repeat, creating a lively climbing pattern across the cloth. Visually, the navy ground reads very dark and cool, which makes the yellow fruit and soft blue flower details stand out sharply. The leaf tones sit between olive and sage, giving the print a more refined, dusky finish rather than a bright or sugary one. At 348gsm, it has enough substance to hang with presence while still suiting decorative window treatment.

How to use it

Use Verna Ink to bring definition to a room with pale walls, where the navy ground will frame windows cleanly. It also works well with brass, painted wood and other deep blue accents for a tailored, collected look.

The dark ground and lemon-yellow fruit create a crisp, tailored look for curtains.

Pairs well with

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