About this fabric

The floral repeat is arranged in vertical trails, with larger cream and lichen flowers alternating with smaller blooms and a dense blue-and-pale foliate ground. Its 67 cm vertical repeat and 22.5 cm horizontal repeat give the design a clear rhythm while retaining plenty of fine botanical detail. At 260 gsm, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric for both upholstery and drapery, with a 137 cm usable width. The 36.6 threads-per-cm construction gives the visible surface a fine, even textile grain, while the muted blue-grey tone keeps the yellowed cream flowers and lichen leaves understated rather than bright.

How to use it

Pair this colourway with chalky cream, weathered oak and soft grey upholstery to draw out its cool sea-blue ground. It also works well as curtains or a statement chair fabric where the repeating flowers can be read at close range.

Use the cool sea-blue ground to temper the warm cream blooms and lichen foliage in traditional or quietly contemporary rooms.
