About this fabric

Large charcoal-black poppies dominate this densely arranged botanical design, with their layered petals picked out by subtle shifts between near-black and smoky grey. Small violet flowers thread between the blooms, adding a cooler purple note without breaking the dark, dramatic mood. Olive and moss-green stems, leaves and tendrils wind across the background, while the occasional ochre-yellow centre provides a concentrated flash of warmth. The contrasting flower sizes and tightly interwoven foliage create a richly immersive wallpaper pattern with a distinctly luxe character.

How to use it

Pair this Noir colourway with charcoal, olive or muted violet furnishings to echo the artwork’s darker palette, then use ochre accents to draw out the small golden flower centres. It is especially effective as a full-room statement or on one dramatic feature wall.

Use this deep botanical print to create a dramatic, enveloping backdrop in a study, bedroom or richly layered sitting room.

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.
