Hydrangea Bird (archive) Emerald/Blue

Chifu FabricBP10851.3

A fresh emerald-green ground gives this Hydrangea Bird colourway a lively, garden-like depth, overlaid with cool blue birds, leaves and hydrangea blooms. The visible linen weave softens the pattern’s saturated colour with a dry, tactile finish.

About this fabric

This colourway sets a vivid emerald-green background against blue foliage and birds, while pale blue-white hydrangea heads and warm taupe-brown branches add definition. The open linen weave is visible across the ground, tempering the strong colour with a naturally textured surface. At 134 cm wide, the fabric has a 106 cm vertical repeat and a 134 cm horizontal repeat, allowing the branching composition to read across curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. A 20,000 Martindale rub test supports upholstery use; care is professional dry cleaning only, with no washing, bleaching or ironing.

How to use it

Use the cool emerald and blue palette to bring energy to a reading chair or window seat, or let the full branching repeat make a dramatic curtain feature. Balance it with warm wood and quiet natural linens so the pale flowers and birds remain clearly defined.

Use this richly patterned linen for statement curtains, upholstered seating or coordinated bedspreads.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Hydrangea Bird (archive) Emerald/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.
