About this fabric

This 300 gsm fabric has a 137 cm usable width, with a 63 cm vertical repeat and 35 cm horizontal repeat. Its warm oatmeal background lets the olive foliage and cool indigo-blue flowers read clearly, while occasional rust-red accents add small points of warmth. The surface appears softly textured and matte, giving the detailed pattern a tactile, woven character rather than a flat graphic finish. With 19.5 threads per centimetre, the fabric presents a closely constructed ground suited to its intricate repeating design.

How to use it

Use Orchard Forest/Indigo on a reading-room armchair, bench or full-length curtains where its olive and indigo tones can sit alongside oak, painted timber and warm neutral walls. Pick out the small rust-red flowers with a cushion or trim for a measured accent rather than a dominant contrast.

A finely detailed traditional botanical textile, balancing a warm neutral ground with cool indigo and leafy olive tones.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Orchard Forest/Indigo 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.
