Leontine - Naturel

Name: Leontine - Naturel
Brand: Lelievre
SKU: 4268-01

Leontine - Naturel combines a soft natural ground with a delicate, all-over botanical pattern in pale taupe-grey. The low-contrast colourway gives the small sprigs a quiet, misted appearance across the cloth.

About this fabric

The background reads as a warm, chalky natural shade, while the closely spaced botanical marks appear in a muted taupe-grey that is gentler than a strong contrast print. A fine surface grain remains visible beneath the pattern, giving the swatch a softly tactile rather than flat appearance. The small-scale sprigs are distributed evenly, creating consistent visual movement without a dominant central motif. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this pale taupe-grey colourway where a room needs pattern without visual weight: it would bring understated detail to full-length curtains, café curtains or a Roman blind alongside warm ivory and weathered wood.

Its light-looking ground and finely scattered botanical detail make it especially suited to softly gathered curtains or relaxed Roman blinds.

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