About this fabric

This 236 gsm fabric has a 140 cm usable width and a 68 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat. The image shows open ivory-white flowers with darker grey-brown centres, slim branching stems and scattered small leaves against a muted French grey background. Its 74.1 threads per cm specification supports the finely detailed appearance visible in the floral outlines. The mid-weight construction makes it suitable for both drapery and considered upholstery applications.

How to use it

Use the cool French grey ground with chalky whites, soft stone and charcoal accents for a calm bedroom or sitting room scheme. The ivory blooms work especially well on relaxed curtains, Roman blinds or a pair of occasional chairs.

A cool, softly patterned mid-weight for curtains, blinds and occasional upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lotus French Grey 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.
