About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has the natural, lightly slubby handle you would expect from the fibre, while the wide 139cm width makes it suitable for generous drops and larger upholstered pieces alike. The repeat is large-scale at approximately V 98cm / H 139cm, which suits the airy spacing of the palms, blossom sprays and birds visible in the design. In this colourway the pinks read as soft tomato and coral, lifted by fresh olive greens and small touches of turquoise and blue, all set against a warm ivory background. With no performance finish noted, it is best chosen for interiors where the print and the natural linen texture are meant to be seen and appreciated.

How to use it

Use Palm Blossom Tomato/Olive to bring colour and movement into a relaxed sitting room, especially with rattan, painted timber or pale upholstery. The warm cream ground keeps the lively floral-and-bird motif feeling elegant rather than overwhelming.

Use for statement curtains or occasional upholstery where the lively print can take centre stage.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Palm Blossom Tomato/Olive 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.
