Chinoiserie Hall Papavera

Chinoiserie Hall Papavera brings a vivid marigold-yellow ground to the Water Garden Fabrics collection, scattered with painterly birds, butterflies and flowering branches. The bright background gives the design a lively, sunlit feel while the decorative motif stays crisp and detailed.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric is a substantial woven textile, with a weight of 545 gsm and a dense 85 threads per cm, which supports upholstery use very well. The usable width is 130 cm and the pattern repeats every 61.5 cm vertically and 64.5 cm horizontally, so the large-scale trail has room to flow across a larger piece. In this colourway the yellow ground reads warm, saturated and cheerful rather than pale, helping the pink, lilac, green and cream florals stand out with clear contrast. The chinoiserie birds and butterflies feel especially vivid against the strong ground, giving the fabric a bold decorative presence.

How to use it

Use it on a standout armchair, ottoman or pair of dining chairs to bring a bright, gallery-like focal point into the room. It also works well as a blind or cushion fabric where the marigold ground can lift darker timber, painted finishes or neutral walls.

Use on statement seating or a blind where the vivid ground lets the chinoiserie motif sing.

Pairs well with

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