About this fabric

The design is made up of overlapping leaves and slender stems, with softly brushed taupe marks that vary from defined outlines to translucent-looking washes. Its warm ivory background gives the colourway a gentle, chalky brightness rather than a stark white contrast. At 220gsm and 44 threads per cm, it has a versatile mid-weight character suited to both upholstery and drapery. The 91.4cm vertical repeat and 137cm horizontal repeat create a generously scaled botanical layout across the 137cm usable width.

How to use it

Use Padua Raffia to soften a light, neutral room on a window seat, occasional chair or full-length curtain. Pair the ivory ground with warm oak, natural raffia and taupe upholstery to bring out its muted, warm-grey foliage.

Use this softly toned botanical for relaxed upholstery, curtains or cushions where an airy ivory base is wanted.

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