About this fabric

This floral fabric is composed of 50% linen, 41% polyester and 9% viscose, with a 126 cm width. The visible design layers blue and pale blue blossoms over a warm taupe-beige background, with charcoal outlines, fine branching stems and small dark berry details adding definition. Its 77 cm vertical repeat and 126 cm horizontal repeat create a large, flowing layout suited to showing the botanical composition across a wide drop. Supplied for curtains and bedspreads, it brings a composed country-botanical character with a cool blue contrast against the warmer ground.

How to use it

Use it for full-length curtains where the muted blue flowers can read against the taupe ground, or repeat it on a bedspread with plain blue, charcoal or warm beige accessories. Its large repeat is best given room to unfold across generous fabric panels.

A softly detailed floral for curtains and bedspreads, pairing muted blue blooms with a warm taupe ground.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Burford Embroidery 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.
