About this fabric

The pale chalk background keeps the design bright, while the birds are picked out in muted taupe, beige and soft brown washes that read gently rather than strongly contrasted. Fine branch lines travel horizontally across the paper, with individual birds creating a medium-scale repeating scene and a hand-painted, watercolour-like appearance. The supplied usable width is 68.6 cm, with a 68.6 cm vertical pattern repeat and no horizontal repeat listed. Each standard length is 10.05 m, and the specified weight is 153 gsm.

How to use it

Pair this chalk-and-sepia colourway with warm white paint, pale oak and natural linen for a calm, collected scheme. It works especially well where the fine branches can be seen across a longer wall, such as a bedroom, landing or reading nook.

Use the chalk ground and softly sepia bird motif to bring gentle character to bedrooms, hallways or quiet sitting rooms.

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.
