About this fabric

At 380 gsm, this fabric has a substantial handle suited to upholstery. The pattern repeat measures 53 cm vertically and 35 cm horizontally, giving the compact floral layout a clear, regular rhythm. Faded terracotta tulip-like blooms sit among olive, moss, cream and charcoal leaves and small flowers, while the dark ground gives the colourway depth. Its 137 cm usable width provides generous coverage for upholstered furniture, with the 60 m standard length supporting larger projects.

How to use it

Use this warm, faded terracotta colourway on a statement armchair, footstool or sofa, pairing it with oat-coloured linen, tobacco leather and dark stained timber. The olive and charcoal details also work well with muted green or blue-grey plain fabrics.

Use this richly patterned colourway on an upholstered chair or sofa, balanced with warm neutral plains and aged wood.

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.
