About this fabric
This 286gsm textile shows Strawberry Thief’s repeating birds, foliage and flowers across a cool slate-blue ground, with vellum-toned birds and blooms creating a softly layered contrast. Muted sage leaves, dusty blue petals and small berry-red accents give the colourway a softened, timeworn depth rather than bright contrast. At 139cm usable width, with a 53cm vertical and 46cm horizontal pattern repeat, the design has enough scale for its paired birds and dense foliage to remain legible. The supplied specification records 39.3 threads per cm and a 60m standard length for this fabric.
How to use it
Use this slate-blue colourway for curtains, cushions or occasional upholstery where its cool, quiet ground can balance warm ivory, chalky stone and natural wood. Pick out the muted berry-red details with small accents rather than strong saturated colour, keeping the softly faded palette intact.
A cool, softly faded colourway that suits curtains, cushions and occasional upholstery alongside warm neutrals or muted sage tones.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Strawberry Thief 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.
