Demoiselle Ink/Chartreuse

Demoiselle Ink/Chartreuse sets rows of pale dragonflies against a deep, cool ink-blue ground. Fine chartreuse and olive detailing at each insect’s body adds a restrained flash of warmth to the otherwise moonlit palette.

About this fabric

The dragonflies are arranged in a regular staggered layout, with softly mottled ivory-grey wings that stand out clearly from the saturated blue background. Their narrow bodies and fine legs carry muted chartreuse-olive accents, giving the design definition without making the colourway feel bright. This fabric has a usable width of 137.2 cm, a 33.8 cm vertical repeat and a 45.7 cm horizontal repeat. At 172 gsm and 248.6 threads per cm, the close textile surface reads as a versatile mid-weight suitable for both drapery and selected upholstery applications.

How to use it

Use the ink ground to bring depth to a calm blue, grey or stone scheme, then pick up the small chartreuse details in piping, a plain cushion or painted joinery. The pale wings work especially well where daylight can reveal their softly varied surface.

The deep ink ground gives the pale dragonflies a crisp, graphic presence for curtains, cushions and lighter upholstery accents.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Demoiselle Ink/Chartreuse 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.
