About this fabric

The small check is formed from sunflower-yellow and soft white lines, creating a gentle gingham effect across the surface. Its yellow reads as warm mustard-gold rather than sharp lemon, giving the colourway a softly nostalgic character. The image shows an even, closely woven surface with little visual variation, allowing the neat pattern to remain the focus. Catalogued as a fabric from Romo’s Kemble collection, this versatile mid-weight-looking design can work across both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Elmer Sunflower to add mellow golden warmth to a relaxed kitchen curtain, Roman blind or occasional chair. Pair it with chalky whites, natural timber and muted olive or blue accents to balance the check’s sunny tone.

A warm, small-scale check that brings gentle sunflower colour to curtains, cushions, blinds or upholstery.

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