About this fabric

The visible woven texture gives the pale taupe background a natural, gently irregular surface rather than a flat printed appearance. Blossom clusters combine chalky ivory, blush pink and muted rose, while the dark damson edging adds small points of contrast and depth. Ochre foliage and fine brown-gold stems warm the cooler ground without overpowering it. At 406 gsm and 126 cm usable width, this substantial textile is well suited to upholstery; the pattern repeats every 31.5 cm vertically and 42 cm horizontally.

How to use it

Use Summerby Damson on an occasional chair, footstool or upholstered headboard where its soft taupe ground can settle alongside warm timber, aged brass and dusty pink textiles. Keep surrounding fabrics quiet so the damson-outlined blossoms and golden leaves remain clearly defined.

Use this softly layered floral on a statement chair, ottoman or headboard with warm wood and muted blush accents.

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