About this fabric

This colourway is defined by its cool, nocturnal teal background, which gives the abundant banana leaves, palms and fern fronds a deep, layered character. Cream and pale yellow flowers brighten the design, while coral-pink blooms and blush bird-of-paradise forms add concentrated warmth. The visible linen texture lends the printed surface a natural, tactile quality rather than a flat, glossy finish. Kahanu is 100% linen, approximately 114cm wide, and specified for curtains and fixed upholstery at General Domestic upholstery grade. After-care is dry clean.

How to use it

Pair the deep teal ground with natural wood, warm ivory and muted coral accents for a collected tropical scheme. On fixed upholstery, use the cream flowers to soften the surrounding darkness; as curtains, the dense pattern creates an immersive backdrop.

Use the deep teal ground to anchor lighter upholstery, or let the floral foliage bring colour and movement to full-length curtains.

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