About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has the natural, lightly textured finish you would expect from a cloth of this type, with a width of approx. 129cm and a vertical repeat of approx. 41cm. The Honeysuckle Pink/Slate palette combines dusty pink blossoms with muted blue-grey leaves and a pale ground, so the design reads soft and slightly vintage rather than sugary. Small butterfly motifs are spaced among the flowers, adding movement without interrupting the open layout. The impression is decorative but calm, with the slate-toned foliage cooling the pink and keeping the whole pattern balanced.

How to use it

Use it for relaxed curtains, blinds, or light decorative upholstery where the soft pink and slate tones can lift an otherwise neutral room. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, putty, and faded blue accents.

A romantic linen print that suits light upholstery accents or curtains with a gentle, decorative feel.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Honeysuckle Pink/Slate 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.
