About this fabric

This 100% cotton fabric has a soft, matte handle and a decorative floral repeat that feels refined rather than heavy. The print is set across a 122cm width with a vertical repeat of approximately 45cm and a horizontal repeat of approximately 61cm, so the clusters open out gracefully over larger pieces. In this colourway, the blue notes read crisp and slightly inky against the pale background, while the greens stay soft and leaf-like for a fresh, garden-inspired effect. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code make it straightforward to specify for domestic schemes where a classic printed cotton is wanted.

How to use it

Its cool blue-and-green palette works well in relaxed country rooms, especially for curtains, loose covers or light upholstery on accent chairs. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and muted upholstery solids to keep the pattern feeling crisp and spacious.

Use for tailored curtains or classic upholstery where the cool blue blooms can soften a room with fresh colour.

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