Malacca Prairie

Malacca Prairie is a vivid botanical print set on a clean, pale ground, with layered palm fronds and tropical leaves in fresh green tones. The palette feels bright and airy rather than dense, giving the design a light, resort-like energy.

About this fabric

Printed on 100% cotton, this fabric has a 139cm approximate width and a large repeat of V 95cm / H 139cm, making the placement of the leaf motifs especially important. The colourway combines minty highlights, mid greens and deeper teal-greens, so the foliage reads crisp and animated against the pale background. The overall effect is lush but not heavy, with the lighter greens lifting the pattern and keeping it feeling open. With its cotton handle and decorative scale, it suits statement soft furnishings where the tropical detail can be appreciated.

How to use it

Use Malacca Prairie to bring freshness to relaxed curtains, decorative cushions or a feature blind in a sunlit room. Its cool green mix works particularly well with rattan, pale timber and crisp white upholstery.

Fresh, leafy colour that brings a bright botanical lift to windows or cushions.

Pairs well with

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