About this fabric

The surface is covered with a small, closely packed leafy motif, with cream, blue-grey and subdued green marks interlacing across the pale nettle background. At 230 gsm, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery applications. Its usable width is 137 cm, with a 23 cm vertical repeat and a 13.5 cm horizontal repeat. The fine botanical scale creates an even, textured-looking field from a distance, while the cool blue-grey accents become more apparent at closer range.

How to use it

Use this cool, pale nettle colourway to soften a reading chair, bench or loose cushions, or let it bring quiet botanical detail to curtains and blinds. Pair it with chalky creams, weathered blue-greys and natural timber rather than highly saturated colours.

A softly muted leafy colourway for relaxed upholstery, cushions, blinds 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.
