Manor House FabricCCF0057-01

Bowood Chambray places delicate ivory blossom trees across a cool, muted slate-blue ground. The finely textured surface gives the colourway a softly woven, understated depth.

About this fabric

The slate-blue background has a gently chalky, greyed quality, while the ivory branches and clustered buds create a clear, light contrast. Repeated stylised trees are arranged on a 31.5cm vertical and horizontal repeat, giving the botanical design a balanced rhythm across upholstery panels. At 367gsm, this is a substantial fabric suited to upholstered furniture, with a 126.5cm usable width for practical cutting. The close weave and softly textured finish keep the pattern feeling considered rather than overly decorative.

How to use it

Use Bowood Chambray on a reading chair, headboard or sofa where its cool blue-grey tone can be balanced with ivory piping, pale oak and warm woven accessories.

Pair the cool slate-blue ground with chalky whites, pale woods and warm natural textures.

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