About this fabric

This 300gsm fabric has a 137cm usable width, making the detailed botanical layout practical for both upholstery and drapery. The design combines rounded, densely branched trees with smaller sprigs, grasses and flower heads, creating a varied rhythm across the cream background. Bayleaf greens and cool blue-green leaves give the colourway gentle depth, while blush-pink flowers and ochre details add restrained warmth rather than strong contrast. Its pattern repeats every 63cm vertically and 35cm horizontally, with a stated density of 19.5 threads per cm.

How to use it

Use the cream, sage and dusty-rose palette on a reading chair, bench or relaxed curtains, pairing it with warm timber and quiet neutral upholstery. The blue-green foliage also works well with muted stone, aged brass and soft natural linens.

A softly coloured botanical repeat that brings cream-ground brightness and an easy heritage character to upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Orchard Bayleaf/Rose 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.
