About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring 140cm wide, this fabric has a practical mid-weight feel that makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The pattern repeat is 16cm vertical by 34.3cm horizontal, giving the bird-and-floral motif a clear, rhythmic layout across the cloth. In this colourway, the ochre base reads warm and солнечный, while the pale birds, blush petals and grey stems lift the design and keep it from feeling too dense. The overall effect is cheerful but grounded, with a matte cotton texture that softens the bold yellow ground. Care instructions are AQV1<.

How to use it

Use it to bring warmth to a neutral scheme, especially on a chair, bench cushion or relaxed curtains where the ochre can glow in daylight. It pairs neatly with timber, chalky whites and soft grey accents.

A cheerful ochre print that adds warmth and pattern without feeling heavy.

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