About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Water Garden Fabrics collection is a printed cloth with a substantial 260 gsm weight and a usable width of 137 cm. The large 73.5 cm vertical repeat and full-width 137 cm horizontal repeat suit the sprawling scenic design, where pagodas, bridges and water motifs move across the cream ground in layered indigo outlines and fills. The blue reads clear and slightly muted rather than inky, so the pattern feels decorative without becoming heavy. With no performance features noted, it is best chosen for its visual impact and the character of the print rather than technical specification.

How to use it

Use this indigo-and-cream colourway to bring pattern and structure into a room with pale painted walls, where the blue details can stand out cleanly. It works especially well on curtains, cushions or a statement armchair when you want the scheme to feel collected and slightly formal.

Best for statement curtains or upholstered pieces that can show off the wide scenic repeat.

Pairs well with

Pagoda River Indigo/Blue 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.
