Octavia Buff
Octavia Fabric
Octavia Buff brings an antique botanical character to a warm buff-taupe ground. Oversized flowers, curling foliage and paisley-like flourishes create a richly layered floral surface.

About this fabric
The large-scale pattern combines rounded, layered blooms with trailing leaves, small sprigs and curling ornamental forms. Its buff-taupe background keeps the overall effect muted and warm, while dusty rust, olive, faded blue, cream and plum details add depth. The floral outlines and tonal shading give the surface a softly textured, illustrated appearance rather than a flat block of colour. This is a versatile fabric choice for upholstery or drapery where an expressive botanical pattern is wanted in a subdued palette.
How to use it
Pair Octavia Buff with warm timber, aged brass and softly faded olive or rust accents to echo the floral detailing. Its muted buff-taupe ground also works well on a substantial armchair, Roman blind or full-length curtain.
Use this warm, muted floral across upholstery or drapery when you want layered colour without a bright finish.
Pairs well with
A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Octavia Buff 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.
