About this fabric

The close-set chevrons create a crisp vertical rhythm, with small angular colour blocks alternating across the cream ground. Its pattern repeat measures 16cm vertically by 14cm horizontally, keeping the graphic motif clearly defined without becoming oversized. At 224gsm and 137cm usable width, this is a versatile mid-weight choice for upholstery or drapery. The listed standard length is 40 metres, making the design practical for coordinated interior schemes.

How to use it

Use the deep teal as an anchoring shade alongside pale woods and warm neutrals, then pick out the rust and ochre details in cushions or painted accents. The cream ground keeps this energetic pattern from feeling too dark in a room.

Pair the warm rust and ochre accents with natural woods or calm cream upholstery for a lively retro scheme.

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