About this fabric

The 300 gsm fabric has a softly textured, matte-looking surface that lets the ivory foliage remain clear without appearing stark against the greige-taupe ground. Layered branches, rounded leaves and small ochre marks create a medium-scale botanical repeat with a gently illustrative feel. Its 38 cm vertical repeat and 49 cm horizontal repeat give the pattern a consistent rhythm across the cloth. With a 147 cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight choice for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Use this cool taupe colourway to soften a contemporary seating scheme, pairing it with chalky ivory, stone and pale wood. The small ochre accents can be echoed in cushions or discreet decorative details without overwhelming the delicate foliage.

A cool greige-taupe ground gives the ivory foliage a softly luminous, composed character, with small ochre details adding warmth.

Pairs well with

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