About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, this design has a usable width of 140cm and a 17cm horizontal by 32cm vertical pattern repeat, so the motif reads as a neat, structured repeat rather than a scattered print. The fabric is rated at 20,000 Martindale with a General Domestic upholstery grade, and it is treatable for FR drapery and upholstery, making it practical as well as decorative. Visually, the colourway balances fresh teal-leaning greens, acid-lime highlights and deeper moss accents against an off-white ground, giving the damask a clean, springlike brightness. The pattern has enough definition for statement cushions, curtains or light-use seating, while the Better Cotton content adds an appealing responsible sourcing note. Colour fastness is rated 5, supporting its use where a stable green tone is wanted.

How to use it

Pair this absinthe green with pale painted wood, chalky neutrals or warm brass for a smart, uplifting scheme. It works especially well where you want the pattern to add energy without overwhelming the room.

Use it to bring crisp pattern and lively green character to tailored rooms.

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