About this fabric

The Prussian Blue ground has a dusky teal cast that gives the design depth without losing the clarity of its vivid botanical details. Stylised birds sit among feathery yellow leaves, red flowers, small berries and scrolling stems, while cream highlights pick out the finer motifs. With a substantial 710gsm weight and 33.8 threads per cm, this is a dense, visually luxurious fabric well suited to upholstery. The 124.5cm usable width accommodates the 79cm vertical and 63cm horizontal pattern repeats for considered motif placement.

How to use it

Use this cool blue colourway on a statement armchair, footstool or sofa, then echo its saffron foliage and red flowers in cushions, painted furniture or small decorative accents. Its dense, jewel-toned pattern works especially well where an upholstered piece is intended to anchor the room.

Use this richly patterned, heavy textile to bring cool Prussian blue depth and jewel-toned colour to upholstered seating.

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.
