About this fabric

The cool blue-grey ground keeps this colourway light and airy, while the monochrome drawing gives the design depth without introducing saturated colour. Mirrored zebras form the central focal point, surrounded by spotted cats, birds, butterflies, leaves and fine curling stems. With a 57cm vertical repeat and 34.5cm horizontal repeat, the large-scale composition needs room to show its intricate arrangement. At 222gsm and 137cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Use Kruger Eggshell on a statement chair, headboard or full-length curtains where its pale blue tone can brighten the room while the black-and-charcoal animals provide definition. Pair it with chalky whites, soft grey, natural timber and restrained black accents to echo the illustration.

A pale blue-grey ground gives the detailed black-and-white animal scene a cool, quietly dramatic presence on seating, cushions or curtains.

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