About this fabric

The woven fabric has a substantial 455 gsm weight and a closely made construction of 13.2 threads per cm, supporting its upholstery classification. Its 123 cm vertical and 92.5 cm horizontal pattern repeats frame classical garden architecture, clipped borders, urns and branching foliage across the surface. The grey is softened with ivory grounds and darker charcoal outlines, giving the colourway a cool, quietly aged appearance rather than a stark monochrome contrast. At 139 cm usable width and a standard 60 m length, it is suited to planning repeat-led upholstery projects where the large-scale scene can be aligned carefully.

How to use it

Use this cool grey-and-ivory colourway on a statement chair, ottoman or sofa, allowing the architectural repeat to remain visible across the upholstery. Balance its busy garden scene with plain ivory textiles, weathered timber and muted stone-grey walls.

Pair the cool grey-and-ivory garden scene with warm timber, chalky walls and restrained antique accents.

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.
