Babooshka Absinthe Wavy

Name: Babooshka Absinthe Wavy

Babooshka Absinthe Wavy is a vivid, high-contrast fabric with a lush green palette and a striking oversized pattern. In this colourway, the dark ground makes the fresh absinthe, teal and olive tones feel especially electric and graphic.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, this fabric is specified for end use in accessories, drapery and upholstery, with a 146cm usable width and a 40,000 Martindale rating. The large 72cm horizontal and 65cm vertical repeats support the bold, all-over scale seen in the image, where layered leaf forms and wave-like stripes build a dramatic surface. The colourway reads cool and saturated rather than soft, with bright absinthe greens lifted by teal accents and crisp pale detailing against a deep dark background. It is treatable for FR drapery and upholstery, making it a strong choice where decorative impact and practical performance need to meet.

How to use it

This colourway works well as a focal upholstery fabric on a statement chair or ottoman, where the vivid green pattern can be fully appreciated. It also makes rich full-length curtains in a room with dark timber, brass or matte black accents.

Use as a statement fabric where the vivid green pattern can take centre stage.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Babooshka Absinthe Wavy 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.
