About this fabric

The repeating vertical motif has an organic geometric rhythm, with slender olive stems winding between serrated pale shapes. Its blue-green ground reads muted rather than bright, while the lilac and cream details catch the eye with gentle contrast. This fabric is tagged for cushions and is supplied as a 50cm x 50cm swatch. After-care for the fabric is Dry Clean.

How to use it

Use Helter Skelter River Bed for cushions on a neutral sofa, where its muted teal ground can add depth without feeling overly saturated. Pair it with chalky creams, soft lilacs and olive accents to echo the colours within the pattern.

Use this cool teal colourway on cushions to bring soft movement and classic pattern into a room.

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.
