Elvey Abelia

Elvey Abelia brings a loose botanical sketch to a pale, almost white ground. Teal leaves provide the strongest colour, softened by dusty blush flower forms and delicate grey foliage.

About this fabric

The design is composed of scattered, hand-painted-looking sprigs, with elongated leaves and small flower heads arranged across the light background. Clear turquoise-teal marks give this colourway a cool, fresh lift, while muted pink and smoky grey strokes add softness and depth. The fine, fluid appearance shown here makes it best suited to drapery rather than hard-wearing upholstery. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair the cool pale ground with chalky whites, light grey and natural wood, allowing the teal leaves to act as a gentle accent. Dusty blush accessories can pick up the softer floral marks without making the scheme feel overly sweet.

Use this airy botanical colourway for soft curtains or relaxed window treatments with pale, cool-toned furnishings.

Pairs well with

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