Chinese Lantern Wild Plum

Chinese Lantern Wild Plum brings a lively spray of trailing stems and lantern-shaped blooms across a soft cream ground. The design reads fresh and botanical, with the plum pinks giving the print a brighter, more jewel-like lift.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric has a substantial 320 gsm handle and a usable width of 128 cm, making it a practical decorative textile for statement pieces. The pattern repeats are generous at 76 cm vertically and 64 cm horizontally, which suits the airy spacing of the branching motif and keeps the repeat feeling natural rather than crowded. In this colourway, the lantern flowers shift between raspberry, magenta and softer pink tones, while the stems and leaves sit in muted olive green for a crisp contrast. The cream background softens the whole design and stops the stronger pink notes from feeling too heavy.

How to use it

Use it on an accent chair, occasional cushions or a tailored blind where the cream ground can keep the room bright. It sits especially well with pale wood, chalky paint colours and brushed brass details.

Pair with plain linens and soft timber tones to let the plum blossom motif stand out.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Chinese Lantern Wild Plum 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.
