Botanist Sky

Name: Botanist Sky
Brand: Ashley Wilde
SKU: BOTANIST

Botanist Sky has a cool aqua ground that lifts the hand-drawn birds, blossoms and trailing botanicals into sharp focus. The overall effect is lively and decorative, with the pale ground keeping the pattern feeling airy rather than heavy.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, this fabric is suitable for general domestic upholstery and drapes and has a 25,000 rub test, making it a practical decorative cloth. The design shows a large, conversational botanical scene with birds, flowering stems and cascading foliage drawn in soft grey and white against a fresh sky-blue ground. The print reads crisp and slightly sketch-like, so the pale aqua background gives the motifs room to stand out without feeling busy. At 134cm wide, it is a substantial fabric with a weight of 390gsm, giving the colourway a grounded, room-making presence.

How to use it

This cool blue works especially well on tailored dining chairs, a headboard or relaxed curtains where the detailed pattern can be seen from a little distance. Pair it with bleached wood, dove grey and chalky neutrals to keep the scheme light and coastal.

Use it for statement upholstery or elegant drapes where the cool aqua ground can keep the intricate sketch-like pattern feeling fresh.

Pairs well with

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