Birds Ochre

Coast Fabric

Birds Ochre from Fryett's Coast shows a playful scatter of small birds across a pale, textured cotton ground. The ochre accents give the design a warm, sunny lift, balanced by softer aqua, grey and cream companions.

About this fabric

This fabric is 100% cotton and comes in a 140cm width, with a 20.5cm pattern repeat that keeps the bird motif neatly scaled and easy to place. The weave reads as a crisp, lightly textured cotton rather than anything plush, so the surface feels fresh and breathable. In this colourway, the ochre birds stand out clearly against the light ground, while the muted aqua, pale lemon and grey birds soften the overall look. The result is a bright but gentle palette that feels airy and coastal without becoming overly saturated. Care code NQT1< is supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Birds Ochre on light occasional upholstery, cushions or café curtains where the warm yellow notes can add a lifted accent. It pairs especially well with painted whites, pale timber and soft sea-glass blues.

A cheerful cotton for relaxed rooms, with the ochre birds lifting the pale ground without feeling too bold.

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