About this fabric

As a wallpaper design, this colourway is built from a dense field of overlapping flowers rather than a spacious repeat. The flax background reads as warm taupe-beige, allowing cream, soft pink, ochre and chocolate-brown petals to settle into a softly muted composition. Small clusters of deep blue and bright turquoise punctuate the surface with cooler, more vivid notes. The close layering gives the pattern visual depth, with tiny daisy-like flowers appearing between larger, more painterly blooms.

How to use it

Use the warm flax ground as the room’s neutral foundation, then echo the design’s ochre and brown tones in wood or leather. For contrast, pick out the blue and turquoise flowers in small decorative accents rather than matching the whole palette.

A warm flax ground layered with densely packed blooms and lively blue-turquoise accents.

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.
