About this fabric

The 304 cm usable width accommodates the intricate 57 cm vertical and 50.6 cm horizontal repeat, allowing the paired birds and botanical motifs to be positioned with care. Mineral-blue foliage and stylised birds stand out against the warm linen ground, while fine taupe, grey and blue-green detailing gives the pattern depth. At 223 gsm and 36 threads per cm, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its close, detailed pattern creates a composed decorative surface rather than a plain field of colour.

How to use it

Use this cool Mineral Blue/Linen colourway for relaxed curtains, Roman blinds or an occasional chair, balancing its busy botanical repeat with warm ivory, pale timber and muted blue-grey accents. It also works well against deeper navy or charcoal details where the mineral blue can read more pronounced.

Pair the cool mineral-blue and linen ground with chalky neutrals, natural wood and softly weathered finishes.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Strawberry Thief Wide Width Mineral Blue/Linen 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.
