Althea Fabric

Althea Saffron has a warm saffron-ochre ground, overlaid with white leafy sprigs traced in dark blue linework. The softly gathered cloth shows a smooth surface with a gentle reflective lift across the folds.

About this fabric

The rich ochre tone gives this colourway a distinctly warm, golden depth rather than a bright yellow appearance. White botanical leaves stand clearly against the ground, while the dark blue outlines add definition to each sprig. The fabric falls into fluid, rounded folds in the photograph, making it particularly suited to drapery. No composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric; the image shows its fine-looking surface and softly lustrous finish.

How to use it

Use Althea Saffron for full-length curtains where its warm ochre ground can bring glow to a room, balancing the white leaves with cream upholstery and picking up the dark blue linework in cushions or painted furniture.

Use the warm saffron-ochre ground to bring depth to curtains, paired with cream, navy or natural timber.

Pairs well with

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