About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this Tilbury fabric has an easy, natural handle that suits lighter furnishings and relaxed interiors. The design repeats in a medium-scale vertical rhythm of 39cm by approx. 34cm, with slim branching stems that climb through the cloth in neat columns. In this colourway, the blue flowers read pale and fresh rather than vivid, while the green leaves are softened to an olive-sage tone against the creamy ground. The result is a calm, country-inspired pattern with enough clarity to stand out, but enough restraint to keep it feeling refined.

How to use it

Use it for curtains, blinds or a decorative upholstered chair where the soft blue and green can bring gentle colour without overpowering the room. It pairs well with painted woods, pale oak and other muted botanical tones.

A fresh linen floral that softens a room with its airy blue-and-green palette.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cresswell Blue/Green 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.
