About this fabric

The softly chalked pink background gives this design a warm, romantic depth, while the paired elephants are picked out in saturated brick red, rust and dark chocolate spots. A golden-striped tiger, birds, palms, rainbow arches and trailing botanical forms fill the large-scale scene with contrasting orange, teal, plum and black details. At 225gsm, the fabric has a versatile mid-weight suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its 137cm usable width is organised by a 55.3cm vertical and 68.5cm horizontal pattern repeat, making the placement of the central animal tableau an important part of the scheme.

How to use it

Use Zambezi Blush on full-length curtains or a feature chair where its warm pink ground can soften deeper reds and plum tones. Pair it with aged timber, dark painted furniture and small touches of teal to echo the illustrated rainbows and foliage.

Use this warm blush colourway to bring theatrical colour and richly layered storytelling to curtains, occasional upholstery or statement cushions.

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