About this fabric

The design is filled with curling olive-brown stems, jagged artichoke leaves and prominent weld-yellow flower heads, with small coral and rust accents adding warmth across the ivory background. The muted green reads earthy and slightly cool, while the yellow blooms bring concentrated flashes of sunlit colour. With a substantial 470gsm weight and 136cm usable width, this is a robust fabric suited to upholstery. Its pattern repeat measures 47.5cm vertically by 45cm horizontally, and the specification lists 28 threads per centimetre.

How to use it

Use this weighty colourway on an occasional chair, headboard or statement ottoman where the large yellow blooms can be appreciated. Balance its warm ivory ground with walnut or painted olive furniture, and echo the coral details in small cushions or accessories.

Pair the warm ivory ground and weld-yellow blooms with natural wood, olive tones and softly aged metallics.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lent Lily Embroidery Artichoke/Weld 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.
