About this fabric

The intricate repeat is built from curling leaves, small floral details and symmetrical urn-like botanical forms, with the manilla ground allowing the pattern to remain light rather than heavy. Bayleaf green provides the dominant cool note, while ochre-gold accents add warmth and the blue-grey details give the design extra depth. The supplied specification lists a 138 cm usable width, a 60 cm vertical repeat and a 46 cm horizontal repeat. At 230 gsm and 92 threads per centimetre, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to upholstery and drapery; the standard length is 60 m.

How to use it

Use the warm manilla ground to connect with natural timber, aged brass and soft neutral upholstery, then pick out the bayleaf green in cushions or painted cabinetry. Its compact, formal botanical repeat is especially effective on occasional chairs, cushions, blinds or full-length curtains.

The warm manilla ground softens the detailed bayleaf, ochre and blue-grey botanical pattern in both upholstery and drapery settings.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lodden Manilla/Bayleaf 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.
