Bees Duck Egg

Eco -Friendly Ranges Fabric

Bees Duck Egg has a light, misty duck-egg ground scattered with small pale bee motifs. The overall effect is airy and quietly decorative, with the pattern sitting gently against the cotton surface.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring 140cm wide, this fabric has a softly structured handle that suits curtains as well as lighter upholstery uses. The 16cm pattern repeat gives the bee motif a regular, charming rhythm without making the design feel busy. In this colourway, the base reads as a cool duck-egg teal with a muted, powdery finish, while the motif stays pale enough to preserve the fabric’s fresh, open feel. The texture visible in the image is slightly nubbly and relaxed, which adds to the easygoing character of the design.

How to use it

Use it to bring a calm, coastal note into a bedroom, nursery, or informal sitting room. Its cool duck-egg tone pairs well with white-painted wood, pale oak, and soft greys.

A fresh duck-egg ground with a tiny pale motif that keeps the look light and easy.

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