About this fabric

The pale grey background gives this colourway a clean, airy base, while the white petals create gentle tonal depth rather than a high-contrast effect. Sage and blue-green leaves trail between the flowers, with yellow-green centres adding small points of warmth. Fine dark stems define the repeating botanical structure, and the floral embroidery has a softly textured, hand-worked appearance. Overall, Cypress reads as a restrained, cool-toned floral with enough colour variation to keep the surface visually engaging.

How to use it

Use this cool grey colourway to soften a light-filled sitting room, pairing it with chalky whites, sage upholstery and touches of natural timber. Its pale ground is equally suited to relaxed curtains or botanical accent chairs.

Use the cool grey ground to bring a light, botanical character to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

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