Bibi Fabric

Raindrop is a cool, muted blue-grey colourway scattered with chalky cream flowers and urn-like forms. The close view reveals a softly tactile woven ground, while the irregular outlines keep the repeat painterly rather than sharply graphic.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, this colourway sets a cool blue-grey ground against chalky cream flowers, giving the design a softened, low-contrast character. The repeat combines loosely outlined blooms, small floral clusters and stylised urn-like vessels, with uneven edges that create a hand-painted impression. Close up, the surface shows a fine woven grain beneath the distressed-looking pattern. Its restrained contrast allows the decorative motif to feel relaxed rather than overly formal.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey colourway on an occasional chair, headboard or relaxed curtain scheme, bringing out its cream motifs with ivory upholstery and pale timber.

Use its cool blue-grey ground to calm a room, pairing it with warm ivory, pale timber and quiet blue accents.

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