Tropicale Citron

Exotica FabricCCF0407-02

Tropicale Citron layers sprawling tropical leaves across a mossy olive ground, with citron and pale khaki foliage catching the light through the woven surface. The result is richly tonal rather than brightly lemon-yellow.

About this fabric

This substantial 583gsm textile shows overlapping palm-like and broad tropical leaves in muted citron, olive and pale khaki tones. Fine woven detailing gives the leaf edges a softly raised, light-catching appearance, while the mottled ground adds depth between the motifs. With a usable width of 137cm and a 40cm vertical by 34.5cm horizontal repeat, the design has a clearly visible, generous scale suited to upholstery planning. The standard length is 25m.

How to use it

Use Tropicale Citron on a statement chair, ottoman or upholstered headboard where its mossy olive depth can sit alongside warm timber, aged brass and natural linen. Keep surrounding tones restrained to let the pale citron foliage provide the contrast.

Use this weighty olive foliage design to bring layered tropical texture to upholstered seating, headboards or occasional chairs.

Pairs well with

Tropicale Citron is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
