About this fabric

At 328gsm, this substantial fabric is suited to both upholstery and drapery, with a 137cm usable width. The fine leafy branches form a 42cm vertical repeat by 22cm horizontal repeat, creating a small-scale, closely patterned surface rather than an open motif. In this colourway, slate-w blue foliage sits against the mineral ground, while pale leaf details lift the design without making it feel bright. The specification records 127 threads per cm and a standard length of 50m.

How to use it

Use the cool mineral-blue ground on a reading chair, bench or full-length curtains, where its pale foliage can soften deeper blue, grey or natural timber schemes. Its restrained contrast also works well as a patterned counterpoint to plain linens in warm ivory or stone.

A cool, muted botanical that brings gentle pattern and depth to upholstery or curtains.

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.
