Bellflowers Indigo/Thyme packs small bellflower motifs into a richly detailed ground of cool indigo, thyme green, cream and fine dark outlining. The close pattern reads as softly textured from a distance, while the tiny floral geometry comes forward at nearer view.

About this fabric

This colourway has a cool, slightly softened indigo base, threaded with olive-thyme foliage and small cream bellflowers that give the surface a measured, quietly luminous contrast. Its dense repeat measures 21 cm vertically by 23.5 cm horizontally, keeping the floral rhythm compact across the 141.5 cm usable width. At 402 gsm and 22 threads per cm, the cloth has a substantial, closely made feel suited to upholstered furniture. The restrained blue-green palette gives the intricate Morris-inspired pattern depth without the sharper brightness of a clear navy or emerald.

How to use it

Use Bellflowers Indigo/Thyme on a reading chair, sofa or occasional seat where its cool blue-green depth can be balanced with warm timber, russet accents and natural linen plains.

Pair the cool indigo and thyme-green ground with warm oak, aged brass and quiet neutral upholstery.

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