About this fabric

The colourway combines saturated cobalt and jewel-blue feathers with charcoal, black and soft grey detailing, giving the ivory background a cool, high-contrast appearance. Large birds dominate the 68.5cm vertical repeat, while the 138cm horizontal repeat carries sweeping wings, branches and trailing botanical lines across the cloth. At 222gsm and 137cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The standard roll length is 40m.

How to use it

Use Audubon Blue as a statement on a reading chair, headboard or pair of curtains, then echo its cooler blue accents in plain cushions and painted woodwork. Its ivory ground can also lighten a room where the darker birds and black linework need space to breathe.

A dramatic ivory-ground print with jewel-blue birds, suited to statement upholstery, curtains and occasional pieces.

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