La Fiorentina Small takes its name from Florence and prints a delicate, small-scale floral trail on a non-woven ground with a tight 9 centimetre repeat, the smallest in the Ashmore collection. At this scale the pattern behaves as a fine, textured colour rather than a floral you would ever describe motif by motif, closer to a plain in most lighting than a print.
The paper is a 100 per cent non-woven base, 70 centimetres wide, with a 9 centimetre vertical repeat; no horizontal repeat is given on this listing. Six colourways: Blue, Green/Blush, Emerald/Blue, Aqua and Indigo cover a cool, garden-toned range, while Parchment is the quietest, warmest neutral of the six and the easiest to place against existing woodwork.
We would hang it across a whole room where a larger print would feel too busy, particularly a bedroom, a dressing room or a small bathroom, and Parchment works especially well as a neutral backdrop to stronger colour in furnishings and artwork. Pair any of the cooler colourways with a plain linen in one of their tones for curtains, keeping the rest of the room's pattern to a minimum. Sold by the roll; order a sample before committing to a full room, since six colourways is a wide field to choose from.
With such a small repeat, matching at the seams is straightforward and wastage is minimal, so it is a forgiving paper to hang even in a room with several corners and a run of windows to cut around. Roll length is not given here, so check the label before ordering; as a guide, allow two to three rolls for an average wall, since the wide 70 centimetre roll and the tiny repeat both keep the quantity down.
