Mustard Poppy Fabric: Mustard, White & Magenta | Time After Time Collection

About This Design

White and magenta poppies open across a warm mustard ground, each held up by a dark green stem. The white poppies are the surprise: against mustard they look almost luminous, like lamps switched on in a yellow room. The magenta ones answer them with a deeper, sweeter note, and the dark green stems keep both from floating away. Petals are broad, flat and rounded, with no shading to soften them. The mustard ground is warm enough to feel sunny and muted enough to avoid glare, which lets the two poppy colours sit side by side comfortably. A mustard poppy fabric with white and magenta flowers that feels like a long, bright afternoon.

The Inspiration

Poppies appear in almost every tradition of flat floral design, and the 1960s and 70s loved them for their simple, graphic cups of petals. A white poppy on a yellow ground was a favourite combination of the period, bright enough to read and soft enough to live with. This design adds magenta for contrast and dark green for balance, and leaves out everything else.

What It Carries

Mustard is the colour of sunlight through a curtain, and this design carries that warmth into any room. The white poppies keep it fresh and the magenta ones keep it playful. It suits a breakfast chair, a bench cushion or kitchen curtains, anywhere the day begins. It looks good beside natural wood and plain plaster, and it makes darker rooms feel as if the window has been enlarged.
