About this fabric

The design is drawn in sage, olive and deeper teal greens, with pale blue-green flowers, cream blossom clusters and birds settled among twisting branches. Its 106 cm vertical repeat and 134 cm horizontal repeat create a generous, scrolling composition that reads clearly across a larger surface. Made from 100% linen and measuring 134 cm wide, it is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. A 20,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on upholstered furniture, while the visible linen texture gives the pattern a natural, softly tactile finish.

How to use it

Pair this colourway with warm ivory, natural timber and muted sage accents to echo its pale ground and leafy green depth. It works particularly well as relaxed curtains or as a statement upholstered chair where the birds and flowers can be seen at full scale.

Use the cream ground and layered sage-green foliage to bring a light, collected garden character to upholstery, curtains or bedspreads.

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