Summerby Duckegg

Summerby Duckegg brings a cool, pale blue-green ground to the Avebury floral, with branching olive stems, pointed leaves and softly contrasting flower clusters. The fine woven texture gives the colourway a lightly tailored, tactile finish.

About this fabric

The closely woven ground is a muted duckegg blue-green, overlaid with olive and moss-toned stems and leaves. Rounded sprays of small white and warm blush flowers add gentle contrast without overpowering the cool background. At 406gsm, this is a substantial textile well suited to upholstery, while its 126cm usable width offers practical coverage. The botanical repeat measures 31.5cm vertically by 42cm horizontally, which should be considered when positioning the floral clusters.

How to use it

Use Summerby Duckegg on a traditional armchair, dining chair or headboard, balancing its cool blue-green tone with warm timber, ivory linens and restrained olive accessories.

Pair the cool duckegg ground with natural wood, warm ivory and olive accents.

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