About this fabric

The design features large formal blooms, curling foliage and smaller floral sprays arranged in a balanced repeating composition. Its ecru background reads warm and quiet, while the grey pattern has a powdery, muted depth that catches the light across the textured surface. The catalogued type is Fabric, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use this warm ecru and dove-grey colourway to bring a calm, traditional note to an upholstered chair, sofa or full-length curtain. Pair it with soft ivory, chalky grey and natural wood rather than bright white, which could make the gentle contrast feel sharper.

A softly contrasting damask for elegant upholstery, curtains or layered classic interiors.

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.
