Blossom Linen

Origins FabricCCF0473-03

Blossom Linen has a quiet grey-taupe ground crossed by slender, branching stems and small pale blossoms. The lightly textured weave gives this colourway a softened, natural depth rather than a flat printed appearance.

About this fabric

The 310gsm fabric combines a muted taupe-grey background with charcoal-brown stems and delicate ivory-grey flower heads, creating a cool, understated reading. Its 16cm vertical and 27.4cm horizontal pattern repeats keep the climbing floral arrangement present without making the design feel busy. With a 137cm usable width and 40m standard length, it is practical for coordinated upholstery and drapery projects. The visible woven texture and medium weight lend the fabric a relaxed, tactile character.

How to use it

Use this soft grey-taupe colourway on a window seat, occasional chair or full-length curtains where its ivory blossoms can lift a restrained neutral scheme. Pair it with warm chalk, mushroom and weathered wood, while the darker stems add just enough definition.

A softly muted floral with a woven linen-look ground, equally suited to upholstered pieces and relaxed window treatments.

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