About this fabric
Large branching stems carry clustered blue leaves and small outlined flowers across the porcelain background, while paler, feathery foliage fills the open spaces with a translucent, watercolour-like effect. The contrast is cool rather than stark: saturated China blue gives depth, while the softer blue marks recede gently into the ground. Weighing 252 gsm with 38 threads per cm, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric for upholstery or drapery. Its 67.5 cm vertical and 70.2 cm horizontal pattern repeats allow the alternating branches and airy gaps to remain legible across a larger application.
How to use it
Use this cool porcelain and China-blue colourway on a reading-chair, bench or relaxed pair of curtains, then echo the deeper blue in piping, painted furniture or ceramic accents. Keep surrounding walls and upholstery pale to preserve the design’s light, spacious quality.
A cool porcelain ground and layered China-blue botanicals bring crisp, decorative character to upholstery or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lady Alford Porcelain / China Blue 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.
