About this fabric

The design is made up of small, curling leafy sprigs in russet, muted pink and pale green, set against a light cream background. Its warm, gently aged colour balance gives the pattern more depth than a plain beige, while retaining a light overall impression. At 230 gsm, the fabric has a versatile mid-weight suited to both upholstery and drapery applications. The pattern measures 23 cm vertically by 13.5 cm horizontally, giving the repeated foliage a refined, close-set rhythm across the 137 cm usable width.

How to use it

Use this warm cream-and-russet colourway on a chair, lampshade or relaxed curtain scheme where its small botanical scale can sit comfortably alongside natural wood and softly aged neutrals. The russet foliage also works as a quiet accent against deeper brown, olive or terracotta furnishings.

A versatile mid-weight botanical with a warm cream ground and finely drawn russet foliage.

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.
