About this fabric
This 290 gsm fabric has a 137 cm usable width, giving the repeating design room to read clearly across upholstery or full-width drapery. Its 40 cm vertical repeat and 27.5 cm horizontal repeat create orderly rows of stylised foliage, with the central stems and scrolling leaves forming a softly symmetrical rhythm. The slate blue-grey background feels muted and cool rather than saturated, while the vellum motifs add gentle contrast without appearing stark white. A specification of 1.7 threads per cm accompanies the visibly detailed textile surface.
How to use it
Pair this cool slate-and-vellum colourway with chalky whites, weathered wood and soft grey-blue furnishings. It works particularly well on a tailored occasional chair, Roman blind or curtains where the compact botanical repeat can remain visible.
Use this cool slate-and-vellum colourway for tailored upholstery, relaxed curtains or coordinated cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Brer Rabbit Slate/Vellum 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.
