About this fabric

The ivory ground is scattered with curling indigo branches, birds and delicate flowers, while larger vignettes show figures, pavilions and a crescent-shaped swing. Muted coral-red blooms and restrained green-grey foliage add warmth without disturbing the colourway’s predominantly cool, blue-led character. At 402 gsm, this is a substantial textile with the presence expected of an upholstery-led fabric. Its 161 cm vertical and 141 cm horizontal repeat gives the narrative pattern a large, considered scale across the 141 cm usable width.

How to use it

Use this cool indigo-and-ivory colourway on a statement armchair, window seat or headboard, where its large scenic repeat can be positioned to show the figures and floral branches. Pair it with weathered timber, chalky paintwork and muted coral accessories to pick up the design’s warmer accents.

Use the cool indigo grounds and ivory background to bring a detailed, collected feel to an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard.

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.
