Downham Mineral

Ribble Valley FabricCCF0039-03

Downham Mineral pairs a cool mineral-grey ground with softly ivory floral sprays, creating a calm, lightly faded impression across the face of the fabric. Large outlined blooms, smaller blossoms and curling stems give the pattern a clear but gentle rhythm.

About this fabric

The muted grey ground reads cool and even, while the ivory flowers stand out through fine linear detailing within each petal and leaf. The design includes both generously sized open blooms and smaller clustered flowers, giving the 30.5cm vertical and 25.2cm horizontal repeat a natural, climbing movement. With a 137cm usable width and 226gsm weight, this fabric has the substance for upholstery as well as the flexibility of a mid-weight drapery cloth. Its standard length is 40m, making it practical for coordinating larger schemes.

How to use it

Use Downham Mineral to soften a blue-grey, stone or chalk-toned room, particularly on a quiet occasional chair, headboard or full-length curtains. The cool mineral shade works well with pale wood and warm ivory accents, which pick up the floral detailing without competing with it.

A cool mineral-grey floral with ivory detailing for softly tailored upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

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