About this fabric

Kerala Indian Teal is catalogued as a fabric, with a fine, even surface texture visible beneath the pattern. The ground reads as a muted blue-green rather than a bright turquoise, while the foliage and flowers appear in warm ivory and pale stone tones. Broad tropical leaves sit alongside feathery stems, small berries and open blossoms, creating a full, large-scale botanical arrangement. The restrained contrast keeps the detailed composition composed and sophisticated rather than highly dramatic.

How to use it

Use this cool Indian teal colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or full-length curtains, balancing its pale foliage with ivory upholstery, warm oak and woven natural textures. The blue-green depth also works well with aged brass and soft neutral walls.

Pair the cool teal ground with warm ivory, natural linen and pale timber for a balanced botanical scheme.

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