Strawberry Thief Teal

Strawberry Thief Teal presents the Strawberry Thief design in a cool, softened teal colourway, densely filled with cream birds, flowers and curling foliage. The pale motifs create a softly illuminated contrast against the blue-green ground.

About this fabric

The teal background has a gently weathered, blue-green depth rather than a bright or highly saturated finish, giving the colourway a calm, collected character. Cream and pale blue birds, blossoms and scrolling leaves form a closely balanced botanical pattern, with muted olive touches adding warmth across the design. At 226gsm, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. It has a 138cm usable width, a 40m standard length and a pattern repeat of 27cm vertically by 23cm horizontally.

How to use it

Pair this cool teal with chalky whites, soft grey-blue and natural oak for a fresh heritage scheme, or use it on a reading chair with warm brass and muted olive accents to draw out the quieter colours in the pattern.

Use the cool teal ground to bring depth to classic upholstery, curtains or cushions while letting the cream foliage stand out.

Pairs well with

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