About this fabric

Pale, long-legged cranes sit amongst drooping willow branches, with scattered pink blossom sprays and fine blue ripple marks woven through the composition. The eau de nil ground is cool and muted, giving the design a softly atmospheric quality rather than a bright, high-contrast finish. Taupe-brown and charcoal foliage provide measured depth, while the birds’ ivory bodies create quiet focal points. As a Sheer design, its light, airy appearance makes this colourway especially well suited to curtains and other gentle window treatments.

How to use it

Use this cool green-grey colourway for full-length curtains in a bedroom, sitting room or garden-facing space, where its cranes and willow branches can read as a calm panoramic scene. Pair it with chalky ivory, weathered taupe and soft blush accents to echo the birds, branches and blossom.

A cool eau de nil ground brings a quiet, atmospheric quality to the illustrated cranes and willow scene, particularly suited to curtains.

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.
