Flourish Celestial/First Light

Flourish Celestial/First Light combines a cool powder-blue ground with softly contrasting ivory flourishes. The repeating design has a delicate, almost lace-like presence, with rounded floral forms, curling leaves and fine pale detailing visible across the swatch.

About this fabric

This 252 gsm mid-weight fabric has a 139 cm usable width, making it suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications. Its powder-blue ground reads airy and cool, while the ivory motifs add definition without creating a strong contrast. Rounded floral and paisley-like flourishes are arranged in regular rows, with small leaf shapes and fine internal linework giving the surface its intricate character. The pattern measures 33.6 cm vertically by 34.6 cm horizontally, creating a medium-scale repeat that remains clearly legible across a larger area.

How to use it

Use this cool Celestial/First Light colourway on occasional upholstery, curtains or cushions where its powder-blue and ivory palette can brighten the room without feeling stark. It works especially well with chalky whites, pale greys and washed timber.

Pair the cool powder-blue ground with ivory, pale grey or natural timber for a light, quietly refined scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Flourish Celestial/First 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.
