About this fabric

This 305gsm fabric has a substantial woven handle, making it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Its cool blue-teal colouring is softened by lighter threads that pick out the scrolling acanthus foliage, while deeper blue details add definition between the leaves. The pattern measures 61cm vertically by 46cm horizontally, creating a clearly structured repeat across the cloth. It has a 138cm usable width and is supplied in a standard 35m length.

How to use it

Use the cool denim tone on a reading chair, ottoman or full-length curtains, balancing the intricate foliage with chalky whites, pale stone and natural timber. The lighter woven highlights help it sit comfortably in rooms that need colour without a high-saturation finish.

A cool, textured blue botanical weave suited to upholstery, curtains and coordinating soft furnishings.

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