About this fabric

Printed on 100% cotton, this fabric has a clean handle and a natural, slightly matte finish that suits both room schemes and sewn soft furnishings. The design repeats at V 82cm (half drop) and H 89cm approx, creating a generous floral layout with plenty of open ground between the climbing sprays. In this colourway, the blossoms read as powdery blue with hints of lilac, while the leaves lean to fresh, slightly yellowed green rather than a deep teal. The overall effect is crisp and decorative without feeling heavy, and the 136cm approx width makes it practical for larger upholstery or curtain projects.

How to use it

Pair it with painted wood, pale oak and quiet blues to keep the palette fresh, or use it to soften a room with cream walls and tailored upholstery. The light background and cool flower heads work especially well in rooms that need pattern without visual weight.

Use it for relaxed upholstery or lined curtains where the airy floral print can breathe.

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.
