About this fabric

The floral design is spread across the cloth in medium-scale, brush-marked blooms, with creamy petals layered over pale yellow-green and olive foliage. Dark olive and brown flower centres give the predominantly light colourway definition, while the irregular painted edges create visible surface movement. At 218 gsm with 38 threads per centimetre, it is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. The usable width is 138.1 cm, with a 66.5 cm vertical repeat and a 138.1 cm horizontal repeat for pattern planning.

How to use it

Use this pale cream, lime and olive colourway on a relaxed armchair, Roman blind or full-length curtains, then echo its warm brown flower centres in timber, leather or natural accessories. Its softly diluted greens work especially well against off-white walls and warm neutral upholstery.

Pair its pale cream ground with warm timber and use the lime brushwork as a gentle colour lift.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Helianthus Sunflower/Grass/Awakening 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.
