About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has the easy natural handle and slightly crisp texture you would expect from a decorative linen rather than a heavy upholstery cloth. The design repeats in a medium-scale trailing pattern, with V 44cm / H 34cm approx and a 137cm approx width, making the motif read clearly across larger drops. In this colourway, the leaf heads are a muted old pink with a gentle chalky cast, while the stems and fronds sit in a quieter beige-green tone that keeps the overall effect soft and airy. The pale ground lifts the pattern and gives it a fresh, understated look rather than a dense or saturated finish.

How to use it

Use it for relaxed drapes, blind panels or occasional upholstery where you want the gentle pink to warm a room without feeling sweet. It sits especially well with ivory paintwork, aged brass and natural timber.

Pair with warm neutrals and pale woods for a calm, elegant finish.

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.
