About this fabric
This 100% linen fabric has a relaxed, dry handle that suits elegant soft furnishing and curtain work, with a width of approx. 134cm and a repeat of V 40cm / H 67cm approx. The design reads as an airy damask-like botanical, with slender trailing leaves and stylised artichoke blooms picked out in muted blue, sage and a touch of warm taupe. Against the light ground, the pattern feels fresh rather than heavy, and the colourway keeps the motif gentle and slightly faded, giving it an antique, country-house character. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this fabric.
How to use it
Use this colourway where you want a cool but softened focal fabric; it works especially well with painted timber, pale oak and chalky neutrals. The blue-green notes keep it calm in daytime light, while the larger repeat gives drapery or upholstered accent pieces real presence.
A cool, airy linen with a refined botanical pattern that lifts pale and natural interiors.

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