About this fabric

The swatch shows birds perched among branching stems, fern-like leaves and repeated star-shaped flowers in aqua, blue, green and fine dark outlines. Made from 100% linen, the fabric is 137 cm wide, with a 68 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat for careful pattern placement. Its supplied uses include curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads, making this decorative linen suitable across coordinated schemes. Care is specialised: do not wash, bleach or iron, and have it professionally dry cleaned.

How to use it

Use the cream ground as a bridge to natural upholstery and warm timber, then pick up the aqua and teal birds in cushions, painted furniture or a restrained accent wall. The 68 cm repeat will make the foliage and bird motifs a strong feature on curtains, headboards or occasional upholstered pieces.

Use the cool aqua and teal accents to bring lively colour to curtains, upholstery or a bedspread against warm neutral interiors.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bamboo Bird Aqua/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.
