About this fabric
The 254gsm fabric has a versatile mid-weight handle, making it suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications. Its 137.5cm usable width carries a 46.5cm vertical repeat and 45cm horizontal repeat, with the compact geometric arrangement creating a consistent rhythm across the cloth. Pale bayleaf green gives the colourway a cool, softly weathered depth, while cream outlines brighten the pattern and the muted red motifs provide restrained points of contrast. A specification of 78 threads per centimetre supports the close, detailed appearance visible in the swatch.
How to use it
Use this bayleaf colourway on an occasional chair, blinds or relaxed curtains where its cool green ground can sit alongside natural wood and warm ivory. Echo the small red accents sparingly through a cushion, ceramic or painted detail rather than introducing a competing bright colour.
Pair the muted bayleaf ground with warm timber, cream upholstery and small touches of terracotta or berry red.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Brophy Embroidery Bayleaf 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.
