About this fabric

The design is set against a brown-taupe ground, with slate-blue foliage giving the pattern cool depth and cream honeysuckle and tulip forms lifting the surface. Fine scrolling stems and repeated floral medallions create a richly detailed, medium-scale layout rather than an open or minimal motif. At 265 gsm and 137 cm usable width, this furnishing fabric is suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its pattern repeat measures 63.5 cm vertically by 69 cm horizontally, allowing the botanical structure to remain clearly visible across a larger run.

How to use it

Pair this slate-led colourway with warm stone, mushroom or deep brown furnishings to draw out its softened contrast. It works especially well on a traditional armchair, full-length curtains or cushions where the cream flowers can be seen against the darker ground.

Use this muted slate, brown and cream colourway to bring historic botanical detail to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Honeysuckle & Tulip Bullrush/slate 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.
