About this fabric

The print combines small leafy stems, open flowers and curling botanical details in blue-grey denim, pale aqua and midnight accents over warm ivory. Its 204gsm weight makes it a versatile mid-weight fabric for both upholstery and drapery, with no performance features noted. The pattern repeats every 45.7cm vertically and 34.5cm horizontally, allowing the closely spaced floral detail to continue evenly across a wider surface. A 138cm usable width and 40m standard length provide practical coverage for considered interior schemes.

How to use it

Pair this cool, blue-led colourway with ivory upholstery, washed timber and soft grey-blue accents to emphasise its faded vintage mood. Its dense floral scale can add detail to a reading-room chair, roman blind or full-length curtains without relying on strong contrast.

Use the cool denim and midnight-blue floral ground to bring tailored vintage character to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

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.
