Flying Ducks Blue

Flying Ducks Blue combines a cool, muted blue ground of foliage with cream flying ducks, taupe branches and small touches of green. The softly weathered illustration has a natural linen texture that keeps the large repeat feeling relaxed rather than stark.

About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen, this 137 cm wide fabric shows a detailed scene of flying ducks moving between branching trees and rounded blue foliage. The colourway is quietly tonal: dusty blue and pale cream dominate, while taupe-brown branches and restrained green accents add depth. Its 62 cm vertical pattern repeat and 137 cm horizontal repeat give the design a generous, clearly defined scale. It is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads; professional dry cleaning is required, and it must not be washed or ironed.

How to use it

Use the cool blue and cream palette on a statement armchair, loose-covered sofa or full-length curtains, then echo the taupe branches with warm wood and natural woven accents. The illustrated scale also works well across a bedspread where the flying ducks can be fully appreciated.

A softly illustrated blue-and-cream linen for characterful curtains, upholstery and coordinated bedspreads.

Pairs well with

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