Lophura English Grey
A Celebration of the National Trust FabricSAF0335-03
Lophura English Grey pairs a soft grey-cream ground with painterly branches, leaves and birds in muted natural colours. The overall effect is calm and airy, with just enough colour in the motif to keep the design lively.

About this fabric
This fabric is supplied with a usable width of 141 cm, a 74 cm vertical repeat and a 141 cm horizontal repeat, so the large, wandering pattern can be planned around the space it needs. At 252 gsm and 38 threads per cm, it sits in a substantial decorative-fabric range rather than a lightweight sheer, which suits the crisp definition visible in the printed foliage and birds. The English Grey colourway reads as a pale, cool grey-cream background with sage leaves, brown branches and small touches of muted blue, butter yellow and soft coral. That restrained palette gives the design a fresher, quieter mood than a stronger neutral ground, and the creamy wash keeps the repeat feeling open rather than heavy.
How to use it
Use English Grey in rooms that need pattern without visual weight: it works beautifully for curtains, roman blinds or occasional chairs. The cool-grey ground pairs well with bleached woods, chalky paint colours and aged brass finishes.
Use it for tailored curtains or relaxed upholstered accents where the soft grey-cream ground can let the painterly branches stand out.

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