Barbade Mer shows a layered floral motif in cool slate blue and soft grey, with the pattern reading clearly against a textured ground. The overall effect is calm, tailored and slightly coastal rather than bright or tropical.

About this fabric

This Barbade Mer colourway from the Paros collection is woven in 100% Polyolefin and has an approximate width of 138cm, with a vertical and horizontal repeat of 46cm. The fabric shows a dense all-over floral pattern built from leaf and petal forms, rendered in muted slate blue, dusty navy and pale grey. The weave gives the design a lightly textured, tactile look, while the contrast stays restrained enough to keep the surface composed. It is a useful choice where you want pattern presence without the punch of a vivid blue.

How to use it

Use it on a pair of occasional chairs, a headboard or tailored cushions where the cool blue-grey palette can sit against timber, stone or crisp white paint. It also works well in rooms that need pattern with a quieter, more refined maritime feel.

A cool, versatile floral that brings pattern and depth without feeling heavy.

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