About this fabric

The large-scale design combines curling blue-green branches with feathery leaves, long-tailed birds and pink-and-coral exotic bird details, all sharply outlined against the luminous lime background. At 222 gsm, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. The 68.5 cm vertical repeat and 34.5 cm horizontal repeat give the composition a clearly considered, sizeable rhythm when pattern-matched. Its 137 cm usable width and 40 m standard length make it practical for planning coordinated room schemes.

How to use it

Use Rousseau Lime as a confident statement on an occasional chair, headboard or full-length curtains, balancing its electric yellow-lime ground with deep teal, ink blue and warm coral accents. It also works particularly well as a vivid contrast against quieter natural neutrals.

Use this vivid lime colourway to bring an energetic, illustrated focal point to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

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.
