About this fabric

This fabric has a usable width of 128 cm and a generous 39 cm vertical repeat, so the branching motifs have room to read clearly across larger drops or upholstered panels. At 390 gsm with 37 threads per cm, it sits in a substantial mid-weight category that suits both upholstery and drapery. In this Dawn Blue colourway, the ground is a cool, powdery blue that lightens the whole design and gives the brown stems, green leaves and dark berries a crisp, springlike contrast. The small cream blossom details add a softer note and keep the pattern from feeling too dense.

How to use it

The pale blue ground works well in rooms that need colour without visual weight, especially with natural timber, chalky whites or painted cabinetry. It is an easy choice for statement curtains, bedroom cushions or a covered occasional chair where the botanical repeat can be enjoyed at a distance.

Use it for a fresh but tailored scheme where the pale blue ground keeps the embroidered branches feeling airy.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Foraging Embroidery Dawn Blue 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.
