About this fabric

Large stylised flowers sit among curling leaves, fine stems and small pale blossoms, with the cool blue ground showing through the densely drawn composition. The rose-pink blooms provide warm points of colour, while olive-green leaves and ochre vertical stems give the design depth without overpowering its muted palette. This wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width and a 61 cm vertical pattern repeat, with no horizontal repeat specified. Supplied in a standard 10.05 m length, it has a listed weight of 150 gsm.

How to use it

Use it as a full-room paper where the cornflower ground can read as a calm, enveloping blue, or place it behind a bed or reading nook to frame the rose flowers and olive foliage. Balance its detailed pattern with warm natural wood and quiet blue-grey upholstery.

Use this cool blue-ground botanical to bring layered colour and historic pattern to a room.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cornflower Rose/Woad 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.
