About this fabric

The main field is filled with pale, almost chalk-white stems, leaves and rosette-like blooms, while the narrow border introduces deeper navy, muted red and warm terracotta accents. At 404 gsm with 28 threads per cm, this is a substantial textile with the visual weight suited to upholstery. It has a 135 cm usable width, a 30 m standard length and a pattern repeat of 32 cm vertically by 135 cm horizontally. The cool, low-contrast centre feels composed and airy, while the saturated border gives the colourway a more formal, tailored finish.

How to use it

Use the pale woad field on a traditionally shaped chair, headboard or upholstered bench, positioning the navy-and-rust border as a deliberate edge or accent. Pair it with chalky neutrals and weathered timber to keep the cool blue tone feeling light rather than heavy.

A cool woad ground and ornate navy-and-rust floral border bring patterned depth to traditional upholstery.

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.
