Alderney Lilac/Green

Name: Alderney Lilac/Green
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F3422-01

Alderney Lilac/Green shows a delicate trellis of flowering branches across a soft ivory ground, with lilac blossom and fresh green leaves giving the design a light, airy feel. The overall effect is botanical and painterly, with enough movement in the repeat to keep the surface lively.

About this fabric

This fabric is woven in 88% linen and 12% nylon, giving the printed cloth a natural-looking body with a little added stability. The design repeats at approximately V 72cm / H 135cm and measures about 135cm wide, so the branch motif opens out broadly across the cloth rather than feeling tightly packed. In this colourway, the pale lilac clusters read softly against the warm cream ground, while the sage and leaf greens bring a fresh, garden-like contrast. The slender golden stems add a gentle warmth that keeps the palette from feeling too cool or washed out.

How to use it

Use it for curtains, loose covers or occasional upholstery where the large-scale floral can breathe and be seen from a little distance. It works especially well with painted wood in chalk white, muted sage or soft oak tones.

Pair with pale timber and soft neutrals to let the airy botanical print feel fresh rather than fussy.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Alderney Lilac/Green 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.
