Balangan Kiwi brings the Nara botanical into a sharp, sunlit yellow-green ground with pale leafy and fruiting motifs scattered across the cloth. The contrast feels crisp rather than heavy, giving the design a lively decorative energy.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, this fabric has a width of approximately 145cm and a repeat of V 48cm half drop by H 97cm approx, which suits the generous, all-over botanical layout. The kiwi ground is a clear yellow-green with a lively, slightly acidic cast, while the foliage and fruit motifs are picked out in soft grey-white and deeper shadowed outlines. That combination keeps the pattern readable and fresh, with the lighter detailing standing out strongly against the saturated background. Q 8 + T 3 and the √BM fire code make it a practical decorative cotton for interiors where pattern and colour are the focus.

How to use it

Use Balangan Kiwi where you want a bright botanical that still feels tailored: it works especially well on a bench seat, occasional chair, or Roman blind. The yellow-green ground pairs neatly with white paint, pale timber, and muted greens for a fresh layered scheme.

The bright kiwi ground gives the leafy botanical a lively, contemporary edge on curtains or statement upholstery.

Pairs well with

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