Toile Chinoise Forest sets the chinoiserie figures and leafy branches in a cool, muted green over a pale ground. The sketchy cotton surface gives the design a crisp, tailored look rather than a glossy finish.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, this fabric has a familiar, handleable weight and a clean matte appearance that suits both upholstery and curtains. The pattern repeats on a 49cm vertical half drop with an approximate 89cm horizontal repeat, giving the scene room to breathe across larger pieces. In this colourway, the foliage and figures read in soft forest green with a slightly greyed tone, so the motif feels classic and restrained rather than bright. The 133cm approximate width makes it practical for domestic furnishing projects, and the BM fire code supports residential use.

How to use it

Use it on a pair of armchairs, a pelmet, or relaxed full-length curtains where the pale ground can keep the room feeling airy. It works especially well with painted wood in chalky white, stone, or deeper green accents.

A fresh green toile that lifts traditional rooms without feeling stiff.

Pairs well with

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