About this fabric

The warm cream background gives this colourway a gentle, light-filled appearance, while the charcoal motifs provide definition without the starkness of solid black. Butterflies appear at several angles among slender flowering stems, buds and scattered botanical details, creating a lively all-over arrangement. The engraved linework and shaded wings give the design a richly observed, illustrative quality. As a fabric, this colourway is especially suited to drapery where the pale ground can remain open and the repeated pattern can be read across a wider drop.

How to use it

Use it for full-length curtains in a softly traditional room, pairing the warm ivory ground with natural timber, aged brass and charcoal accents. It can also bring gentle pattern to a reading nook or guest bedroom without making the window treatment feel heavy.

A warm ivory ground with charcoal engraving-style butterflies and foliage brings a softly collected feel to curtains and blinds.

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.
