About this fabric
The medium-scale floral is defined by cream-hemp flowers edged in dark blue, with blue-grey leaves and fine pink buds threaded through the pattern. Its indigo colouring reads cooler and deeper in the densely outlined foliage, while the pale blossoms create a clear, gently antique contrast. With a 139 cm usable width and a 233 gsm weight, this mid-weight fabric is suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The design has a 35.5 cm vertical repeat and a 46 cm horizontal repeat, with 67 threads per cm and a standard length of 60 m.
How to use it
Use this Indigo/Hemp colourway on a reading chair, footstool or window seat where the cool indigo can anchor a room without overwhelming it. For curtains, pair it with warm ivory or natural linen tones to echo the pale flowers and bring out the small pink floral details.
A cool, characterful Morris floral that brings indigo depth, soft hemp foliage and delicate pink accents to upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with
A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Pimpernel Indigo/Hemp 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.
