Name: Estuary Birds Mist/Ivory
Brand: Sanderson
SKU: SAF0230-01

Estuary Birds Mist/Ivory shows a quietly painted coastal scene on a pale ivory ground, with wading birds, rocks and reeds drifting across the surface. The overall effect is light, washed and atmospheric, with delicate grey-blue water notes softening the design.

About this fabric

This colourway in Embleton Bay Fabrics by Sanderson is a patterned textile with a usable width of 139 cm and a large 83 cm vertical repeat, so the birds and shoreline details have room to breathe across a full drop. At 235 gsm, it reads as a substantial decorative fabric rather than a whisper-light cloth, though the visual impression remains gentle and airy. The palette is built around misty ivory, chalky grey and pale blue-green washes, with the bird outlines picked out in soft brown and grey so the design never feels harsh. The thread density of 74.1 threads per cm helps explain the crispness of the painted details and the fine, cloth-like finish visible in the swatch.

How to use it

Use it for relaxed curtains, Roman blinds or a feature armchair where the pale ground will keep the room feeling open. It pairs well with weathered oak, limewashed walls and blue-grey accents that echo the water-toned markings.

A softly painted coastal bird scene that feels airy and calm on curtains or light decorative upholstery.

Estuary Birds Mist/Ivory is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
