About this fabric

The dark ground reads almost black at first glance, while its olive cast becomes more apparent across the woven surface. Large scalloped bands in dusty stone grey wind between stylised flowers, curling stems and clusters of tiny pale blossoms. Muted ochre, honey and beige petals add warmth without brightening the overall depth of the colourway. This is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted, so the visible dense pattern and substantial-looking weave are the clearest guides to its intended use.

How to use it

Use Melodie - Kaki on a statement armchair, headboard or occasional upholstered piece where its near-black olive depth can anchor a room. Echo the antique gold flowers with aged brass, warm timber and quiet stone-toned textiles.

Use this dark olive floral for statement upholstery with warm metallic or aged-wood accents.

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.
