About this fabric

Large, loosely drawn blossoms and leaves appear in dusty mauve, olive, yellow-green and muted purple, with the uneven edges of the motif adding a hand-rendered character. Deep black and dark teal horizontal stripes cut across the floral arrangement, giving the design a strong graphic rhythm and cooler depth. The visible surface has a structured, textured weave rather than a smooth plain finish, making this colourway read as substantial enough for statement upholstery. No composition, width, rub-test or performance features have been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair the mauve and olive floral tones with dark timber, aged brass and plain teal or charcoal upholstery. Use it on a feature chair or compact sofa where the large motif and striped ground can remain clearly visible.

Use this richly coloured floral for statement upholstery, balancing its mauve and olive motifs with quieter solid furnishings.

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.
