About this fabric

The fine botanical motifs repeat vertically every 16 cm, creating a richly detailed surface rather than a large, open floral. Charcoal forms the deepest tone, while muted olive and warm pale accents soften the contrast and keep the design from reading as stark black and white. With a weight of 402 gsm and 56 threads per cm, this is a substantial textile suited to upholstery. It has a 140 cm usable width, a 140 cm horizontal repeat and a standard length of 60 m; the narrow patterned border visible at either side adds definition when the cloth is framed on furniture.

How to use it

Use Bellflowers Charcoal/Olive on a sofa, fireside chair or ottoman where its dark olive-charcoal ground can anchor a room. Pair it with warm ivory, aged timber and brushed brass to draw out the pale botanical highlights without competing with the small-scale pattern.

Use this deep charcoal and olive pattern to bring intricate botanical detail to upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

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.
