Animalia Fabrics FabricCCF0259-04

Extinct Navy brings a cool, deep navy ground to the Animalia design, with pale blue lions, swans and birds surrounded by turquoise botanical and jewel-like details. The dark background gives the illustrated scene unusual depth while allowing the lighter motifs to remain sharply visible.

About this fabric

This 222gsm fabric is covered with a large-scale illustrated pattern of winged lions, swans, birds, butterflies, leaves, crystals and small celestial details. In this colourway, the ground reads as an inky navy blue, contrasted by icy blue linework and brighter turquoise-green wings, foliage and gemstones. The 56.5cm vertical and 69cm horizontal pattern repeats give the composition a substantial visual rhythm across the 137cm usable width. Its mid-weight 222gsm construction makes it a versatile choice for both upholstery and drapery; no performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair the deep navy ground with pale blue, charcoal and aged silver for a cooler, more atmospheric room, or pick up the vivid turquoise accents in cushions and painted furniture. The large repeat is especially effective on statement curtains, occasional chairs or a feature headboard.

Use the cool navy ground to anchor pale blue and turquoise accents in an eclectic, illustrated scheme.

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.
