About this fabric

This close view shows a warm parchment-beige ground densely scattered with fine, short leaf-like sprigs in a muted terracotta red. The small-scale mark-making keeps the colourway softly patterned rather than high-contrast, with the red reading dusty and gently warm against the pale ground. At 250 gsm and 137 cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight textile for upholstery or drapery. The design has a 64 cm vertical repeat and 67.5 cm horizontal repeat, while its fine construction is listed at 35.4 threads per cm.

How to use it

Use the warm beige ground to soften the colour around a window seat, occasional chair or relaxed curtain scheme. Repeat the muted terracotta in piping, cushions or painted accents for a cohesive, understated room.

Pair the dusty red sprigs with warm parchment, cream and natural wood tones.

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