About this fabric

The sunflower-yellow ground is threaded with cream scrolling foliage, tiny rosettes and repeated bud-like floral forms, creating a dense all-over pattern rather than a single dominant motif. Its 15.5 cm vertical and horizontal repeat keeps the design finely scaled across the cloth. The supplied specification records a 188 gsm weight, 36.2 threads per cm and a 138 cm usable width, making the fabric a versatile mid-weight option for both window treatments and decorative upholstery. The warm gold tone catches the light clearly against the paler cream detailing, giving the surface lively depth without losing its delicate linework.

How to use it

Use Borage Sunflower where a room needs a warm yellow lift: it would bring cheerful richness to full-length curtains, while the small cream pattern would also suit cushions or occasional upholstery against natural timber, ivory or soft olive tones.

Use the warm sunflower-yellow ground to bring a bright, historic accent to curtains, cushions or decorative upholstery.

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