About this fabric

This Gardenia fabric is catalogued as a textile, with a fine woven texture visibly breaking up the pale background and softening the edges of the abstract marks. Saturated cobalt passages provide the deepest points of colour, while turquoise, powder blue and cool grey bring variation across the design. The overall effect is fresh and cool rather than warm, with the pale ground keeping the pattern light even where the blue is most concentrated. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification was supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Wild Garden Cobalt to bring crisp, watery colour to a light room, balancing its cobalt and aqua marks with chalky whites, pale blue-greys and natural woven textures. It would suit a relaxed upholstered piece or softly patterned drapery where the painterly detail can remain visible.

Pair the cool cobalt marks with pale upholstery, softly textured curtains or calm blue-grey accents.

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