About this fabric

The dense leaf pattern combines rounded, feather-like forms with pointed foliage, using pale ivory highlights to soften the stronger blue and charcoal accents. The overall colour balance is cool and softly muted, while the shiitake taupe introduces a gentle earthy warmth. This fabric has a 236 gsm weight, a 140.5 cm usable width and a pattern repeat of 67.1 cm vertically by 35.1 cm horizontally. Its specification also lists 74.1 threads per centimetre, supporting the closely detailed appearance visible in the swatch.

How to use it

Use this blue-and-taupe colourway on a statement chair, bench or relaxed curtain scheme, pairing it with chalky neutrals and warm mushroom tones. Deep blue or charcoal accents will pick up the motif outlines without making the room feel heavy.

A versatile mid-weight botanical for tailored upholstery, curtains and coordinated soft furnishings.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Calathea Cornflower/Shiitake/Water 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.
