About this fabric

Against the warm cream ground, tightly repeated leafy boughs alternate between dusty russet and pale ochre, creating an all-over surface with clear tonal depth. The 45 cm vertical and 28 cm horizontal repeats quantify the compact pattern visible across the swatch, rather than a single oversized motif. At 265 gsm and 35.6 threads per cm, this is a substantial mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery applications. Its 141 cm usable width and 60 m standard length provide practical dimensions for project planning.

How to use it

Bring out the russet’s warm, muted red note with natural timber and deeper terracotta accents, while the cream ground keeps the pattern light enough for curtains or occasional upholstery. The ochre foliage can be echoed in lampshades, cushions or other small room details.

Use this warm, leafy colourway for relaxed upholstery, curtains or coordinating soft furnishings.

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.
