About this fabric

The densely drawn design combines plum tulips, winding stems and small leaves with pale floral details, creating a layered botanical surface rather than a simple two-colour print. The warm ivory ground keeps the pattern light, while the dusty plum and muted red accents add depth without appearing bright or saturated. It has a 137.2 cm useable width and a pattern repeat of 46.2 cm vertically by 45.7 cm horizontally. At 354 gsm and 21 threads per cm, the fabric has a substantial presence suited to upholstery applications; the supplied standard length is 60 m.

How to use it

Use this ivory-and-dusty-plum colourway on a reading chair, footstool or compact sofa, pairing it with aged wood, warm plaster and quiet plum or terracotta accents. Its intricate scale works especially well where the upholstery can be viewed close up.

The warm ivory ground and muted plum botanical pattern bring softly historic colour to upholstered seating and occasional pieces.

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.
