About this fabric

The design combines a large central cactus with a green bird, wide-eyed owl, peacock-feather forms and fine botanical details, all rendered in a richly drawn illustrative style. Its palette moves from deep forest and leafy emerald to blue-green teal, with rust-red, ochre and charcoal accents against the pale ground. At 347 gsm, this is a substantial textile suited to upholstery, with a 137 cm usable width. The pattern has a 73.9 cm vertical repeat and a 137 cm horizontal repeat, allowing the full-width composition to be planned across a 40 m standard length.

How to use it

Use Frontier Linen Green on a statement armchair, headboard or occasional sofa where the deep greens and teal can act as the room’s anchor. Echo the rust and coral touches with warm timber, terracotta ceramics or aged brass, while keeping surrounding textiles quiet enough to let the illustrated scene remain legible.

A richly illustrated green colourway that brings birds, owls and cacti into focus against a warm cream ground.

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.
