Busybees Grey shows a soft dove-grey ground scattered with delicate bees, giving the design a calm, slightly rustic character. The pale background keeps the motif light and easy to live with.

About this fabric

This Busybees colourway from the Edenmuir collection is woven in 95% cotton and 5% linen, with a 230gsm handle and an iron-safe finish. It is suitable for curtains, blinds and soft furnishings, and should be dry cleaned only. The grey ground reads cool and muted rather than stark, while the little bee motifs bring in gentle yellow and charcoal accents with translucent wings that stop the pattern feeling heavy. The 28cm horizontal repeat and 35cm vertical repeat give the design an orderly, scattered rhythm that suits a relaxed interior.

How to use it

Use this soft grey colourway in a country kitchen, guest bedroom or sitting room where you want a light, understated pattern. It pairs especially well with painted timbers, oak and chalky neutrals.

The airy bee motif sits neatly on a soft grey ground for a gentle, easygoing finish.

Pairs well with

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