About this fabric

The image shows repeated cream blooms set among pale green leaves, curling stems and small botanical details, with the bayleaf ground reading cool, soft and lightly greyed. At 252 gsm and 139 cm wide, this is a versatile mid-weight textile suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications. Its 35 cm vertical repeat and 46 cm horizontal repeat create a clearly organised pattern across the cloth, while the 38 threads-per-centimetre construction gives the surface a fine, even appearance. The Manilla flowers bring gentle warmth against the cooler green, adding depth without disrupting the calm tone of the colourway.

How to use it

Use the soft bayleaf ground to bring a quiet botanical note to a reading chair, bench or full-length curtains, pairing it with warm ivory and pale timber. The cream flowers also work well with Manilla-toned upholstery details and understated green accessories.

Use this softly muted green floral for elegant curtains, occasional upholstery or coordinated cushions in a light, leafy scheme.

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.
