Sumba Nectar

Name: Sumba Nectar

Sumba Nectar brings a painterly branch pattern to a warm ivory ground, with cool grey foliage balanced by ochre-gold stems. The open background keeps the design feeling light and airy.

About this fabric

Slender branches spread across the cloth in mustard-ochre, while layered leaves are rendered in mottled grey with soft blue-green undertones. The irregular leaf markings give the pattern a hand-painted character rather than a crisp, graphic finish. A fine, subtly visible surface grain adds quiet texture to the pale ground without competing with the botanical drawing. Overall, this colourway reads as warm, restrained and gently weathered.

How to use it

Pair Sumba Nectar with chalky neutrals and pale grey upholstery to draw out its cool foliage, or echo the ochre stems with aged brass and honey-toned wood. Its warm ivory background is especially suited to relaxed curtains in rooms that need pattern without visual heaviness.

Use the warm ivory ground, cool grey foliage and ochre stems to bring gentle contrast to relaxed rooms.

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