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.

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.
