About this fabric

The close botanical repeat is defined by elongated leaves, fine winding stems and small curling tendrils, all set against a softly textured cream background. Its green palette moves from muted bamboo and thyme through deeper artichoke tones, while the blue-green leaves add cool depth rather than strong contrast. At 300 gsm and 52 threads per cm, this is a substantial mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. It has a usable width of 137 cm, with a 42 cm vertical repeat and 46 cm horizontal repeat.

How to use it

Use this cool, leafy green colourway on a reading chair, bench or pair of cushions, where the cream ground can brighten darker timber. It also makes softly patterned curtains that sit comfortably with stone, sage, blue-grey and natural linen tones.

The layered green foliage and pale ground bring a refined botanical character to upholstery, cushions and full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bamboo Thyme/Artichoke 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.
