About this fabric

The background reads as a softened China blue, set against crisp ivory stems, serrated leaves and daisy-like blooms. Curving branches weave across the surface, with the larger flowers creating a bold visual rhythm within the intricate foliage. This wallpaper is 150gsm, with a 68.6cm usable width and a 91.4cm vertical pattern repeat. Each standard length measures 10.05m, making the repeat scale an important consideration when planning the wall layout.

How to use it

Use this cool blue colourway to bring pattern to a sitting room, bedroom or study, balancing its ivory botanical tracery with warm wood, linen neutrals and understated antique finishes.

Pair the cool blue ground and ivory foliage with warm natural timber, chalky whites or restrained brass accents.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Chamomile China Blue 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.
