About this fabric

The surface is visually dense but softly coloured, with repeated cream flowers standing out against blue foliage and fine pink details adding restrained warmth. With a usable width of 139 cm and a stated weight of 252 gsm, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric for both upholstery and drapery. Its 35 cm vertical repeat and 46 cm horizontal repeat create a clearly defined, medium-scale floral rhythm across the cloth. The specification of 38 threads per cm corresponds with the finely detailed appearance visible in the swatch.

How to use it

Pair Pimpernel Woad with chalky whites, pale timber and soft grey-blue furnishings to emphasise its cool, fresh tone. Use it on a statement chair or full curtains where the cream blooms and small pink marks can be read across the repeat.

Use the cool woad-blue ground to bring airy pattern and gentle contrast to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Pimpernel Woad 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.
