About this fabric

Folia Steel from Fryett's Florentina is shown here as a textured fabric with a woven-looking ground and a fine trailing leaf motif. The steel-blue shade sits in a muted blue-grey range, so the pattern reads quietly rather than brightly, with the darker outlines giving the leaves crisp definition. Because no further specification data was supplied, this page is based on the visible character of the cloth rather than any stated width or composition. The overall effect is smart and restrained, with enough visual structure to work well in a room that needs pattern without high contrast.

How to use it

Use this cool steel colourway on a tailored armchair, dining seats, or relaxed curtains where the leaf trail can read vertically. It pairs especially well with pale oak, charcoal, and soft grey painted finishes.

A cool steel blue leaf motif with a gently textured ground suits tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

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