About this fabric

The pattern is formed from stylised cream blooms, fine cobalt-blue leaves and curling stems, with paler blue detail filling the mineral ground. Compared with a brighter navy, the cobalt reads softened by the blue-grey background, while the cream flowers catch the eye as small warm accents. At 230 gsm, with 36.2 threads per cm, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. It has a 140 cm usable width, a 60 m standard length, and a repeat of 34.5 cm vertically by 46 cm horizontally.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey colourway on a reading-chair, bench or pair of curtains where the cream flowers can lift darker blue furnishings. It also works with chalky whites, aged timber and muted mineral tones that echo the ground colour.

The cool blue-grey ground and cream flowers give this dense Morris floral a fresh, quietly elegant character for upholstery or curtains.

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.
