About this fabric

The close view shows a fine, lightly textured woven surface in a muted French blue-grey, with subtle horizontal lines visible beneath the design. Loose botanical branches travel vertically across the cloth, formed from elongated ivory leaves and occasional warm ochre details. The low-contrast blue ground keeps the pattern calm and open, while the ochre flecks give selected leaves a softly highlighted, sun-warmed quality. Its balanced scale and versatile woven appearance make it suitable for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Use this cool French blue-grey colourway to soften a room with chalky whites, pale timber and warm natural textures. Repeat the small ochre accents in cushions, ceramics or lampshades for a connected scheme without overpowering the delicate branches.

A cool blue-grey ground with airy ivory sprigs and restrained ochre flecks, suited to relaxed upholstery or drapery schemes.

Pairs well with

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