About this fabric

The large-scale design shows cream and blush-toned birds perched at the centre, surrounded by cascading leaves in dusty sage, taupe and muted blue-grey. Small pink blossom picks out the branches, while the warm Carob background makes the lighter birds and foliage feel especially prominent. The layered illustration has a richly decorative, luxe character, with fine branch and feather details visible across the dark ground. As a wallpaper design, it is suited to creating an immersive feature wall or wrapping a room in this atmospheric botanical scene.

How to use it

Use Carob across a dining room, study or bedroom where its warm brown depth can create a cocooning backdrop. Pick up the pale bird plumage with ivory upholstery and echo the muted pink blossom in small cushions or lampshades.

A dramatic chinoiserie-inspired scene with pale birds, blossom and layered foliage against a rich brown ground.

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.
