About this fabric

Printed on 100% linen, this Maru colourway has a light, breathable handle with the characterful slub and texture you expect from linen. The design sits on a warm cream base, lifted by teal fern-like stems, soft greens, coral outlines and touches of sky blue that keep the overall look lively rather than heavy. With a Martindale rub test of 30,000 and upholstery grade noted as General Domestic, it is well suited to fixed upholstery in everyday settings. The large 169cm half-drop repeat gives the pattern a spacious, mural-like rhythm across wider pieces. It is also machine washable at 30C, with a 3% shrinkage allowance, and should be dry cleaned after use.

How to use it

Use Songbird Guava on an occasional chair, ottoman or banquette where its cream ground can keep a room feeling bright. It pairs especially well with painted wood, rattan and sunny, washed-out colours that echo the coral and aqua in the print.

A lively tropical print that brightens relaxed seating and casual interiors.

Pairs well with

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