About this fabric

The embroidered design combines muted olive and bayleaf foliage with lemon-yellow fruit, while the brown stems add definition against the warm cream background. At 386 gsm and 68 threads per cm, the cloth has a substantial, closely made feel suited to upholstery. Its 134 cm usable width and 40 m standard length make it practical for planning larger upholstered pieces. The pattern repeats every 46 cm vertically and 65.5 cm horizontally, allowing the branching rhythm to be aligned across the surface.

How to use it

Pair this warm cream, bayleaf and softened lemon colourway with natural wood, ivory linen and olive accents. It is especially effective on a statement chair, dining seat or occasional upholstered piece where the branching repeat remains visible.

Use this embroidered botanical on upholstered furniture where its cream ground and muted lemon accents can lead the palette.

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.
