About this fabric

The design is drawn in delicate grey linework, with stylised flowers, curling leaves, tendrils and small berry-like clusters layered across the pale linen background. Its restrained contrast keeps the detailed pattern light rather than dramatic, while the grey gives the colourway a cool, quietly architectural feel. At 225 gsm and 37 threads per cm, the fabric has a substantial enough presence for generously proportioned window treatments without losing the clarity of the fine botanical drawing. The 304 cm usable width is paired with a 128 cm vertical repeat and 152 cm horizontal repeat, allowing the large-scale composition to read across broad drops.

How to use it

Use it for full-height curtains in a pale room where the cool grey and linen palette can sit alongside chalky whites, soft stone and weathered timber. Keep surrounding upholstery relatively plain so the sweeping foliage and large floral repeat remain the focal point.

Use this cool, softly contrasted floral for full-length curtains that let the generous width and expansive repeat make an impression.

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.
