About this fabric

The design is filled with curling stems, small leaves and scattered floral clusters, with the indigo background giving the pattern a noticeably deep, grounded tone. Yellow-green foliage and pale blue flowers brighten the surface, while coral-pink and red accents add small points of warmth. At 563 gsm and 39 threads per cm, this is a substantial fabric suited to upholstery. It has a 131 cm usable width, a 35 m standard length and a 40.5 cm vertical by 71.2 cm horizontal pattern repeat.

How to use it

Use this cool indigo colourway on a statement armchair, dining seat or headboard, balancing its busy floral field with plain fabrics in chalky blue, warm cream or muted terracotta. The pale yellow and pink details make it especially effective where a dark patterned anchor is needed without losing colour.

A richly patterned indigo floral with pale blue, yellow, pink and red accents for characterful upholstery.

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