About this fabric

The design is an intricate all-over floral, with curling blue leaves, red-berry blossoms and small cream and ochre flowers distributed across a cool, lightly weathered indigo ground. The 44 cm vertical repeat and 47.5 cm horizontal repeat create a clear, medium-scale rhythm without losing the fine detail within each sprig. Measuring 137 cm usable width and weighing 265 gsm, this fabric has a versatile mid-weight presence for considered upholstery or drapery applications. Its construction is listed at 35.6 threads per cm, supporting the visibly detailed, closely patterned surface.

How to use it

Use the cool blue-indigo ground with chalky neutrals, weathered wood and soft stone shades, allowing the berry flowers to provide measured warmth. It can bring colour and pattern to a chair, occasional upholstery or relaxed curtains without making the room feel overly bright.

Use the cool indigo ground to balance the warm berry blooms and cream botanical accents.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bower Barbed Berry/Indigo 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.
