Nakuru Mineral

Vintage FabricCCF0602-05

Nakuru Mineral pairs an ivory ground with delicate mineral blue-green botanical linework, creating a cool, lightly faded interpretation of a traditional floral. Stylised birds, scrolling stems and clustered blooms repeat across the swatch in a balanced, finely detailed arrangement.

About this fabric

This 215gsm Clarke & Clarke fabric has a pale ivory base traced with soft blue-green leaves, flowers and small bird motifs, giving the colourway a gentle mineral cast rather than a bright or saturated blue. The repeated design has a 46.8cm vertical repeat and 43.6cm horizontal repeat, with enough detail to read as decorative while retaining an airy overall impression. Its 131cm usable width and 40m standard length make it practical for coordinated room schemes. At this mid-weight, the fabric is suited to both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Nakuru Mineral to bring a cool, washed blue note to an occasional chair, headboard or full-length curtain, pairing it with ivory upholstery and pale natural woods. The subdued blue-green drawing also sits comfortably alongside soft grey, chalk and muted sage accents.

A quietly refined mid-weight floral for relaxed upholstery, curtains and layered schemes where a cool, airy palette is wanted.

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