Tillandsia Amber/Slate

Zanzibar Fabrics FabricSCF0093-03

Tillandsia Amber/Slate spreads delicate botanical sprigs across a warm cream ground, combining sunlit amber with cool slate-grey linework. The fine, open motif gives the colourway a light, quietly decorative character.

About this fabric

Fine stems, pointed leaves and clustered seed-like heads repeat across the cream background, with amber flowers and stems providing a muted golden warmth. Slate-grey foliage introduces a cooler counterpoint, while pale taupe and olive-toned marks add depth without disturbing the airy ground. This fabric weighs 220gsm and has a 137cm usable width, with a 64cm vertical repeat and a 137cm horizontal repeat. The supplied specification also records 44 threads per centimetre and a 60m standard length.

How to use it

Use the warm cream and amber notes to soften relaxed seating or full-length curtains, then echo the slate details in plain cushions, painted joinery or a grey-blue accent chair. Its open botanical spacing works particularly well where the motif can be seen at a generous scale.

A versatile 220gsm botanical with a warm cream ground and softly contrasting amber and slate sprigs.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Tillandsia Amber/Slate 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.
