A lively chinoiserie-style floral, this colourway pairs clear china blue foliage with soft lotus pink blossoms on a creamy ground. The overall effect is bright, decorative and airy, with the blue reading crisp rather than heavy.

About this fabric

Bamboo & Bird in China Blue / Lotus Pink from Sanderson’s Water Garden Fabrics collection is a printed textile with a usable width of 141.5 cm and a generous pattern repeat of 72.5 cm vertically and 71 cm horizontally. At 265 gsm and 35.6 threads per cm, it has enough body for upholstery while still feeling suitable for drapery and layered interior use. The palette is dominated by cool blue stems and leaves, lifted by lotus pink, lilac and pale blush flowers on a light ground, so the design feels fresh rather than dense. The print’s layered detail and mid-weight handle give it a tailored, decorative look that works well in rooms needing colour without heaviness.

How to use it

Use it on a relaxed armchair, a window seat or full-length curtains where the large repeat can be shown off. Its cool blue base and soft pink accents sit especially well with painted white joinery, pale timber and other watery pastels.

Fresh, decorative and easy to live with, this suits statement upholstery or elegant curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bamboo & Bird China Blue /Lotus Pink 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.
