About this fabric

African Embroidery in African Skys Colour 2 Web from the African Skies collection by Titley & Marr shows a crisp white ground scattered with undulating abstract marks in teal, coral red, navy, taupe and soft mauve. The design reads like a playful embroidered trail, with each motif sitting cleanly against the pale background so the colours feel fresh rather than heavy. No performance features are noted for this fabric. Its printed surface has a bright, lively character that would suit schemes wanting pattern without a dark or densely woven look.

How to use it

Use this colourway to lift neutral upholstery, add character to a cushions-only scheme, or bring movement to relaxed drapery where the white ground can stay bright. It pairs neatly with warm wood, pale paint, and simple plains in teal, rust or sand.

Use it to bring lively colour and movement to relaxed schemes.

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.
