About this fabric

The 137cm-wide design repeats stylised floral and leaf motifs, including ornate paisley-like forms, small blossoms and feathery sprays. Against the near-black blue background, the coral and muted ochre details bring warmth, while sage and lilac accents keep the overall impression cool and balanced. Made from 88% polyester, 8% acrylic and 4% viscose, with 3% shrinkage allowed, it is graded for Contract and General Domestic use. The specification lists it for curtains and fixed upholstery, with Delicate Wash at 30°C, dry cleaning and spongeable care options.

How to use it

Use Fawkes Gunpowder on a statement armchair, dining seat or full-length curtain where its ink-blue depth can frame lighter walls. Echo the coral and ochre motifs with cushions or painted accents, while sage and lilac provide gentler supporting tones.

Use the deep ink-blue ground to anchor coral, sage, ochre and lilac accents in curtains or upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

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