Hydrangea Bird (archive) Teal

Chifu FabricBP10851.5

Hydrangea Bird (archive) Teal layers trailing branches, hydrangea-like blooms, smaller blossoms and perched birds across a cool, muted teal ground. Cream, pale sage and soft grey foliage lift the design, while ochre bird details add a restrained flash of warmth.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this 134 cm-wide fabric has a generous 106 cm vertical pattern repeat and a 134 cm horizontal repeat, allowing the branching composition to read fully across larger applications. The teal ground has a softened blue-green depth rather than a bright turquoise cast, giving the floral and bird motif a calm, atmospheric character. Pale flowers, minty leaves, grey-beige branches and small ochre birds create layered contrast without losing the overall coolness of the colourway. With a 20,000 Martindale rub test, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads.

How to use it

Use the cool teal ground to bring depth to a light, quiet room, pairing it with chalky linen, pale timber and muted sage accents. For upholstery, let the ochre birds act as small warm highlights against otherwise tonal teal and botanical surroundings.

A richly detailed teal botanical for statement curtains, upholstered pieces 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 Hydrangea Bird (archive) Teal 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.
