About this fabric

The colourway reads as a pale, linen-soft marigold rather than a saturated yellow, with ivory flowers and foliage giving the surface a gently tonal finish. The repeating design combines large arcing leaves with smaller floral and leaf details, creating a medium-scale botanical rhythm across the cloth. Its supplied 260 gsm weight and 137 cm usable width make it a versatile mid-weight choice for both upholstery and drapery. The pattern repeats every 22.5 cm vertically and 23 cm horizontally, while the 36.6 threads-per-cm construction supports the finely detailed appearance.

How to use it

Use the warm, muted marigold tone to bring gentle colour to relaxed curtains or a reading chair, pairing it with ivory, oatmeal and natural wood. The pale ground also allows the intricate foliage to sit comfortably within a layered, light-toned room.

Use this softly warm colourway for relaxed curtains, occasional upholstery or a light, coordinated scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Marigold Linen/Ivory 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.
