About this fabric

This 233 gsm fabric has a usable width of 139 cm, making the detailed repeat practical for both upholstery and drapery applications. Its 35.5 cm vertical repeat and 46 cm horizontal repeat create a medium-scale rhythm of cream blooms, slender leaves and interlacing tendrils. The slate-teal background reads blue-green and slightly softened rather than bright, while the pale flowers provide a gentle contrast across the surface. A specification of 67 threads per centimetre accompanies the finely detailed printed appearance.

How to use it

Use Bullrush/Slate on a reading chair, cushion or relaxed curtain where its cool blue-green tone can sit alongside warm ivory, aged brass and walnut. The cream blooms help soften the deeper slate ground without losing the pattern’s intricate presence.

Pair the cool slate-teal ground with pale timber, chalky neutrals and dark wood for a considered Morris & Co. scheme.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Pimpernel Bullrush/Slate 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.
