About this fabric

The 225gsm cloth has a smooth-looking, lightly textured surface beneath a saturated turquoise ground that reads cool and luminous. Black-and-white zebra stripes, a yellow-gold giraffe and deep blue feathered forms create sharp contrast across the field. The 85.5cm vertical repeat and 68.5cm horizontal repeat support the large-scale arrangement of animals, birds and botanical motifs. Supplied in a standard 40m length and with a 137cm usable width, this colourway works as a statement fabric for upholstery or full-length drapery.

How to use it

Use the cool turquoise as a confident focal colour on a statement chair, ottoman or curtains, then pick up the giraffe’s ochre-gold and the design’s deep blue in cushions, lamps or painted joinery. Keep surrounding surfaces quieter so the zebra, bird and feather motifs remain clearly legible.

Use the vivid turquoise ground as a bold focal colour, balanced with warm timber and dark accents.

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