About this fabric

The warm parchment-cream ground is crossed by repeated ivory dragonfly wings, while their slender charcoal-grey bodies create delicate vertical accents. A subtle striated weave is visible across the surface, giving the pale colourway gentle depth rather than a completely flat appearance. Weighing 218 gsm with a 139 cm usable width, this versatile mid-weight fabric is suited to both upholstery and drapery. The design has a 91 cm vertical repeat and 46 cm horizontal repeat, spacing the motifs evenly across the cloth.

How to use it

Use Dragonfly Parchment to soften a neutral Japandi room where its warm cream tone can sit comfortably with pale timber, natural fibres and muted stone shades. The dark dragonfly bodies provide just enough definition for cushions, occasional upholstery or understated curtains.

The warm parchment ground and delicate dragonflies suit calm Japandi upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

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