About this fabric
This 260 gsm fabric shows a dense botanical design in which russet flowers and pointed cream blooms stand clearly against the blue-grey ground. Fine scrolling leaves and small floral details fill the spaces between the larger motifs, giving the surface considerable visual depth without relying on a large-scale statement repeat. The vertical pattern repeat is 32 cm and the horizontal repeat is 23 cm, creating a regular rhythm suitable for continuous upholstery or generous window treatments. With a usable width of 139 cm and 89 threads per cm, it is a substantial mid-weight option for both upholstery and drapery applications.
How to use it
Use this colourway on a reading chair, ottoman or full-length curtains where its cool blue-grey base can settle a room while russet blooms introduce warmth. Pick up the russet with leather, aged brass or terracotta accessories, and keep surrounding patterns quieter so the intricate repeat remains legible.
Pair the blue-grey ground with warm timber and russet accents to balance the intricate botanical repeat.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Snakeshead Thistle/Russet 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.
