Appledore Duck Egg

Misc Fabric

Appledore Duck Egg has a cool blue-green ground scattered with tiny pale buds and slender trailing stems. The overall effect is airy and quietly decorative, with the pattern sitting softly into the cloth.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a muted duck egg blue with a hint of grey, so the fine scrolling trail feels light rather than busy. The small-scale botanical motif is picked out in a paler tone, giving the surface a gentle contrast and a softly speckled look. Made in a 140cm width and woven in a balanced 25% linen, 25% viscose, 25% cotton, 25% polyester composition, it has the versatility to work across a range of interiors. The 23.5cm vertical repeat and 27cm horizontal repeat make the design easy to plan for curtains or upholstery pieces where pattern placement matters. Care instructions are noted as NQT1<.

How to use it

Use it on a slipper chair, bench, or gathered curtains where the duck egg ground can bring a fresh, restful note. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, weathered wood, and soft natural linens.

A cool duck egg ground with a delicate trailing motif that suits calm, layered interiors.

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