About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, Rhapsody Orchid Flat has a usable width of 140cm and a 17cm horizontal by 32cm vertical repeat, making the repeating floral medallions easy to plan across soft furnishings. The fabric is rated General Domestic with a 20,000 Martindale, and it is treatable for FR drapery and upholstery. Visually, this colourway reads as a fresh orchid purple with teal, moss green and blush highlights on a warm ivory base, so the pattern feels lighter and more open than a deeper jewel-toned alternative. The surface looks crisp rather than plush, which suits its decorative, tailored character. Better Cotton content adds a useful sustainability note for interior projects.

How to use it

This colourway works well in rooms that need a cheerful but controlled hit of pattern, especially when paired with pale timber, stone and off-white walls. It also makes a lively upholstered accent or curtain fabric where the orchid and teal tones can sit against a calm neutral scheme.

Use with painted wood and crisp linens to let the orchid and teal motif stay fresh rather than fussy.

Pairs well with

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