Sunforest Antique

About this fabric

The warm cream background lets the dark teal and olive leaves, blue accents and muted berry-red blooms stand out, while tan and ochre petals soften the overall contrast. Sunflower heads dominate the design, interspersed with smaller blossoms and dense curling foliage across the surface. Its 68.5cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat creates a clearly scaled, continuous floral layout. With a 326gsm weight and 137cm usable width, this is a substantial textile well suited to upholstery projects; the standard length is 40m.

How to use it

Use Sunforest Antique on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat where its deep teal and olive foliage can anchor a room. Balance the busy floral with warm neutral walls and simple plain cushions in cream, tan or muted blue.

Pair this richly coloured floral with warm timber, aged brass and plain upholstery in deep teal or olive.

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.
