Hydrangea Bird Mustard/Mauve

This Hydrangea Bird colourway sets an intricate garden scene against a warm mustard-ochre ground. Mauve and pink flowers, vivid blue birds and branching brown stems give the swatch a richly layered, jewel-like character.

About this fabric

The fine linen weave is visible beneath a warm mustard ground, which gives the design a deeper ochre cast than the lighter flowers and birds around it. Branching brown stems carry red, coral, pink and mauve blooms, with blue and turquoise feathers adding crisp cooler accents. At 137 cm wide, the fabric has a 111 cm vertical repeat and 137 cm horizontal repeat, so the large-scale composition needs thoughtful pattern placement. It is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads, with a 20,000 Martindale rub test. Care is professional dry cleaning only: do not wash or iron.

How to use it

Use the warm mustard ground to bring depth to a reading room, bedroom or sitting room, balancing its mauve blooms with brown wood and restrained blue accents. Its 111 cm vertical repeat makes it particularly effective on full-height curtains or carefully matched upholstery panels.

A richly patterned linen 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 Mustard/Mauve 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.
