Bower Indigo

Emery Walker`s House Fabric Collection FabricMOF0178-03

Bower Indigo sets a dense botanical repeat against a deep, cool indigo ground. Sage and olive leaves, pale cream sprigs and muted apricot flowers create a richly layered surface, while the close textile texture gives the image a gently granular finish.

About this fabric

Bower Indigo layers a dark, cool indigo-blue ground with tightly repeated leafy sprigs, pale sage foliage, warm apricot blooms and small cream accents. At 265 gsm with 35.6 threads per cm, the cloth has a substantial, finely textured presence suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its 137 cm usable width is paired with a 44 cm vertical repeat and 47.5 cm horizontal repeat, keeping the botanical rhythm clear across a larger cut. In this colourway, the warm flowers punctuate the deep blue-green field with softly muted contrast rather than bright, high-key colour.

How to use it

Use Bower Indigo to anchor a room with its deep indigo-blue ground, pairing the leafy pattern with natural timber, aged brass or warm neutral plains. The apricot and cream flowers provide small, gentle colour lifts against the darker field.

A richly patterned indigo textile that brings depth to upholstery and softly structured drapery.

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