About this fabric

This wallpaper features paired birds among large flowers, pointed leaves and scrolling stems, with cream and soft blue details standing clearly against the plum-red background. The colourway feels deep and warm overall, while the pale blue accents introduce a cooler lift across the design. It has a 52 cm usable width and a 30.3 cm vertical pattern repeat, with no horizontal repeat specified. The standard roll length is 10.05 m and the supplied weight is 150 gsm.

How to use it

Use this deep plum colourway to give a dining room, study or bedroom a richly enveloping backdrop, balancing its cream and pale blue motifs with warm wood and quiet neutral furnishings. Its large botanical repeat is suited to a wall where the paired birds and flowering stems can be read in full.

A richly detailed plum ground brings cream birds, pale blue foliage and flowering stems to a traditional botanical scheme.

Pairs well with

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