About this fabric

This Cochineal/Willow colourway places coral-pink birds and blossoms against a pale ivory ground, with sage foliage and cool blue-green accents throughout. The repeating Strawberry Thief arrangement is densely drawn, with paired birds, berries, scrolling leaves and stylised flowers forming a balanced all-over field. At 188 gsm and 47.2 threads per cm, the fabric has a versatile mid-weight specification for upholstery or drapery. Its 138.5 cm usable width and 53.5 cm vertical by 46 cm horizontal repeat should be allowed for when matching the mirrored bird-and-floral layout.

How to use it

Use it on a reading-chair, bench or relaxed curtain where the ivory ground can brighten the room without losing pattern. Pair the sage and blue-green foliage with warm white upholstery, while picking up the restrained coral in cushions or painted accents.

Use the pale ivory ground to keep rooms light, while coral birds and sage foliage add gentle colour and pattern depth.

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.
