About this fabric

This Baptista fabric from Colefax and Fowler is composed of 57% viscose and 43% silk, with an approximate width of 128cm and a large repeat of V 57cm / H 64cm. The swatch shows a pale aqua ground with a slightly luminous, smooth handle, allowing the embroidered-style floral artwork to sit clearly against the background. Crimson and rose poppies, olive green leaves and small yellow butterflies create a romantic, garden-inspired pattern with a formal edge. The overall effect is fresh rather than heavy, with the cool teal tint softening the stronger red blooms.

How to use it

Use this colourway for full-length curtains where the aqua ground can keep a room feeling light while the red florals add interest. It also works well as a feature blind or upholstered accent pieces in a scheme with pale wood, cream paint or antique brass.

The airy aqua ground and painterly floral repeat suit elegant curtains or statement blinds.

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