Avium Eau De Nil

Botanist FabricCCF0469-05

Avium Eau De Nil combines a pale, cool eau de nil ground with blue-grey botanical drawing, including generous peonies, fine leaves and a long-tailed bird. Its softly weathered colour gives the detailed chinoiserie-inspired scene a calm, airy presence.

About this fabric

The large floral composition is rendered in layered blue-grey strokes, with peonies, trailing foliage, berries and a long-tailed bird standing out clearly against the muted green ground. Subtle horizontal texture across the cloth softens the contrast and keeps the pattern from feeling overly bright. At 299 gsm with a 142 cm usable width, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The 75.5 cm vertical repeat and 35.5 cm horizontal repeat allow the floral and bird motifs to read as a considered, continuous arrangement.

How to use it

Use the cool eau de nil ground to bring freshness to a pale, light-filled sitting room, where the blue-grey flowers can be picked up in piping, painted furniture or plain cushions. Its 75.5 cm vertical repeat is especially effective on curtains or a statement upholstered chair where the bird and floral arrangement can be properly shown.

Use this cool, softly coloured botanical for relaxed upholstery or full-length curtains with a refined country feel.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Avium Eau De Nil 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.
