About this fabric

The warm flax ground gives this wallpaper a softly parchment-like base, while madder-red stems, leaves and daisy heads provide the strongest definition. Fine taupe-grey details sit within parts of the foliage, tempering the red and adding variation to the hand-drawn appearance across the dense field. It is supplied at a 68.6 cm usable width in a standard 10.05 m length, with a 91.4 cm vertical pattern repeat. The listed weight is 150 gsm, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Pair the warm flax background with natural timber, antique brass and warm neutral furnishings; use the madder-red detailing as a precise accent in textiles or painted joinery. Its dense scrolling pattern is especially effective across a feature wall where the 91.4 cm repeat can be appreciated.

Use the warm flax ground and madder-red botanical drawing to bring heritage character to a feature wall.

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