About this fabric

The cream background keeps this colourway light, while the indigo vines give the pattern a cool, gently shaded depth rather than a bright blue contrast. Crimson and coral iris- and rose-like blooms bring concentrated warmth through the repeated floral medallions, with olive-grey leaves adding a restrained middle tone. At 239 gsm and 38 threads per cm, this is a substantial mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. It has a 137.2 cm usable width, with a 39.3 cm vertical repeat and 34.5 cm horizontal repeat for planning the continuous pattern across a project.

How to use it

Use the cream-and-indigo balance to brighten a window seat, occasional chair or full-length curtain, then echo the crimson flowers in cushions or a small painted accent.

Pair the cream ground and cool indigo stems with warm timber, muted red accents and tailored upholstery or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Iris & Rose Indigo/Crimson 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.
