About this fabric

The Protea motif is arranged in a regular, medium-scale repeat, with slender stems and pointed slate leaves framing rounded, textured flower heads. Its vertical repeat is 68.4cm and its horizontal repeat is 68.6cm, giving the botanical layout a clear, evenly spaced rhythm. At 265gsm, with 90.3 threads per cm and a 137.2cm usable width, this is a versatile mid-weight textile suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The 40m standard length supports use across larger coordinated schemes.

How to use it

Use the almond ground to soften the contrast of the cool slate foliage, then echo the flower heads with muted ochre, natural linen or warm wood accents.

Pair the cool slate foliage and warm ochre blooms with almond, chalk or softly weathered timber tones.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Protea Almond/Slate 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.
