Arboteta in Belvedere is shown here on a soft sky-blue ground, letting the botanical stems and leaves stand out with a fresh, airy clarity. The print feels lively and layered, with pale green, cream and olive tones lifting across the surface.

About this fabric

This Arboteta colourway from Osborne & Little’s Belvedere collection reads as a light, cool blue with a washed, cloudlike feel that softens the whole design. The large-scale botanical motif is filled with pale greens, cream outlines and touches of yellowed olive, giving the fabric a bright but not harsh character. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so the emphasis is on its decorative effect and the way the detailed leaf and blossom forms sit against the blue ground. The overall look is crisp yet relaxed, with enough pattern movement to make it a strong feature cloth without feeling heavy.

How to use it

Pair this blue colourway with pale timber, painted white joinery or linen upholstery to keep the room feeling open and garden-like. It works especially well where you want a botanical statement that still looks breezy rather than dense.

Use this airy botanical for statement drapes or a feature chair where its pale blue ground keeps the print feeling fresh.

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