Bird & Anemone Weave Apricot/Linen

Indoor Outdoor Weaves OutdoorMOF0219-03

About this fabric

The pattern is woven in softly contrasting apricot and linen tones, giving the colourway a warm, sun-baked depth rather than a bright orange appearance. Birds sit among stylised anemones, curling foliage and fine stippled details, while the visible weave gently softens the drawing. At 640 gsm, with 57 threads per cm, this is a substantial Outdoor textile suited to hard-working upholstery. It has a 138 cm usable width, a 78 cm vertical repeat and a 32 cm horizontal repeat for considered pattern placement.

How to use it

Pair this warm apricot-rust colourway with natural linen, weathered timber and pale stone for a relaxed garden-room scheme, or use it on seat cushions where its dense botanical repeat can be appreciated up close.

Use this warm apricot-and-linen botanical weave to bring richly patterned colour to outdoor upholstery and garden seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bird & Anemone Weave Apricot/Linen 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.
