About this fabric

The design is built from symmetrical botanical sprays, curling leaves and small floral details, with the 55cm vertical and 68.6cm horizontal repeats creating a clearly structured pattern. Its 420gsm weight gives the fabric a substantial presence suited to upholstery, while the 137.2cm usable width offers generous coverage. Against the indigo ground, the gold and ochre foliage reads warmly, with cream highlights and dusky rose-red flowers adding contrast rather than brightness. The specification lists 30 threads per cm and a standard length of 60m, supporting the fabric’s densely detailed appearance.

How to use it

Use this cool, dark indigo colourway for a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard, where the antique-gold foliage can be set against warm timber and plain cream or stone fabrics. Keep surrounding patterns restrained so the rose and cream floral accents remain visible.

Use this richly detailed indigo colourway on statement upholstery, balancing its gold foliage and rose accents with quiet neutral surroundings.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Walthamstow Indigo/Gold 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.
