Babooshka Midnight Wavy

Name: Babooshka Midnight Wavy
Brand: iliv

Babooshka Midnight Wavy brings a vivid botanical wave of colour across a deep midnight ground. The design feels saturated and dramatic, with bright leaf forms and flashes of teal, green and coral standing out sharply against the dark base.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester and supplied at 146cm wide, this fabric is listed for accessories, drapery and upholstery, with a Severe Contract upholstery grade and a Martindale result of 40,000. The swatch shows a bold, mirrored botanical composition with large-scale leaf and bird-like motifs that rise in a flowing, almost peacock-inspired movement. In this Midnight colourway, the background reads as a rich navy-black, which gives the greens, blues and small coral accents a crisp, luminous contrast rather than a soft blended effect. It is also treatable for FR drapery and upholstery, making it a strong decorative choice where pattern impact and durability are both important.

How to use it

This colourway works well on a statement chair, banquette or headboard where the midnight ground can frame the brighter leaf colours. Pair it with painted wood or plain textured fabrics in deep blue, soft green or warm neutral tones to keep the pattern centre stage.

Use with clean-lined pieces to let the jewel-toned pattern stand out.

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.
