Magnolia Cream/Blue

Magnolia Cream/Blue spreads a lively chinoiserie garden across a warm cream ground, with blue flowers punctuating coral, orange, pink and red blooms. Bare branches, birds and butterflies give the large-scale design an animated, illustrated quality.

About this fabric

The pattern is printed on 100% linen and combines branching stems, layered leaves, perched birds, butterflies and densely packed flowers in a distinctly decorative composition. Against the soft cream background, the blue rosettes read cool and crisp, balancing the warmer coral, vermilion, orange and blush pink blooms. The fabric is 137 cm wide, with a 92 cm vertical pattern repeat and a 137 cm horizontal repeat, so the generous motifs make a confident statement across wider drops and upholstered surfaces. A 20,000 Martindale rub test supports its listed use for loose and fixed upholstery, while the specification also includes curtains and bedspreads.

How to use it

Use the cream ground to keep a room light, then draw out the design’s cool blue flowers with painted joinery or plain blue upholstery. Its warm orange, coral and pink accents also suit timber furniture and softly contrasting cushions.

A richly detailed cream-ground botanical for statement curtains, upholstered seating 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 Magnolia Cream/Blue 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.
