About this fabric

The design combines open branching stems with medium-scale flowers, serrated leaves and delicate curling tendrils, creating a light, informal rhythm across the cloth. Its warm ivory background is softened by dusty blush petals, olive-sage leaves and pale brown stems rather than strong, saturated colour. Made from 86% linen and 14% rayon, the 127 cm-wide fabric has a lightly textured textile ground that suits its softly aged botanical character. The vertical pattern repeat is 78 cm and the horizontal repeat is 63.5 cm; usage is specified for curtains and bedspreads. After care is professional dry cleaning only: do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use the warm ivory ground at full curtain length to keep a room light, then draw out the blush flowers with faded rose upholstery accents and echo the sage leaves in painted wood or cushions. It also lends itself to a coordinated bedspread where the larger botanical repeat can remain visible.

A softly faded botanical in warm ivory, suited to relaxed curtains and coordinated bedspreads.

Pairs well with

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