Monkey Business Natural places richly layered jungle foliage, curling vines and small brown monkeys over a softly textured cream ground. The green leaves shift from pale botanical tones to deep, shadowed teal-green, giving the print a notably natural, immersive depth.

About this fabric

This 390 gsm Clarke & Clarke fabric has a tactile woven surface beneath its lively botanical print, with oversized leaves, looping vines and climbing monkeys clearly visible across the design. The colourway is anchored by a warm natural cream, while moss, olive, teal and deep forest greens create stronger areas of shade; muted brown figures and vine details add warmth. Its 44.5 cm vertical repeat and 45.7 cm horizontal repeat give the large-scale composition a regular rhythm without flattening the hand-painted character. The fabric has a 137 cm usable width and a standard length of 40 m.

How to use it

Pair the warm cream base with dark stained wood, woven cane and olive or deep green upholstery. In a reading nook or conservatory-style room, let the larger leaves provide the main focal point while picking up the quieter brown and pale green details in accessories.

Use the warm natural ground with timber, rattan and earthy upholstery for a relaxed indoor-outdoor-inspired scheme.

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.
