Folia Heather shows a trailing leaf motif in softly muted plum and mauve tones, set against a warm heathered ground. The overall effect is textured and composed, with the darker foliage giving the design clear definition.

About this fabric

This colourway from the Florentina collection presents a slender, repeating leaf trail in dusky plum, with the leaves reading slightly deeper than the background for a gentle contrast. The ground has a heathered, stone-mauve appearance that keeps the design feeling soft rather than stark. Although no performance features are noted, the fabric reads as a versatile decorative textile with enough visual presence for curtains, blinds, or accent upholstery. The botanical repeat feels orderly and elegant, while the muted purple palette gives the pattern a calm, understated depth.

How to use it

Use it where you want a floral note that stays subdued, such as a tailored armchair, cushions, or full-length curtains. Its muted plum colouring works particularly well with oak, painted grey woods, and brushed brass.

A soft plum leaf design that feels refined without looking overly formal.

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