About this fabric
The large-scale blooms are predominantly ivory and white, with loose, watercolour-like outlines that keep the pattern feeling light rather than sharply graphic. A soft grey ground sits behind the flowers, while blue-green leaves add cool contrast and the ochre centres and buds provide restrained warmth. Fine-looking painted stems and scattered blossoms create movement across the surface, with several tones merging gently at the edges. The overall effect is an airy, softly muted floral with enough tonal variation to remain visually engaging.
How to use it
Use Japonica Cumin on curtains, a statement chair or coordinating cushions where its pale grey ground can soften a room. Pair the ivory flowers with chalky neutrals, muted blue-greens and small touches of warm ochre to echo the colour balance in the print.
A softly painterly floral for bringing pale grey, ivory and muted blue-green tones into a room.

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