GP & J Baker | Pomegranate

Pomegranate is a botanical print from the Coromandel Small Prints collection, the fruit and its crown drawn at a moderate 44 by 19.7 centimetre repeat, larger and more decorative than the collection's smallest sprig prints. The motif has real presence without needing a wide window to show it off, and it carries the exotic, fruit-and-flower vocabulary that runs through Baker's Eastern-influenced designs across several collections.

The cloth is 67 per cent viscose and 33 per cent linen, giving the print a soft sheen over a linen-textured ground. It is 138 centimetres wide, with a 44 centimetre vertical and 19.7 centimetre horizontal repeat, and no rub count is stated for this design, so treat it as suited to curtains and occasional rather than daily-use upholstery. Five colourways: Red, Denim, Green, Aqua and Dove; Denim and Dove are the quieter neutrals, Red the most decisive.

We use it for a pair of curtains in a dining room or garden room, where the fruit motif has space to read clearly, and it covers a chair seat or cushion well at a smaller, more intimate scale. Pair Red with cream and pale oak, and Denim or Dove with warmer neutrals for a softer, more restful look. Sold by the half metre; order a sample to see it in your own light.

Allow a full 44 centimetre repeat per drop and match the print across widths so the fruit motif continues cleanly at the seams. Line curtains as standard, and interline for a bright room to protect the printed colour from fading in strong sun. As no rub count is stated, keep upholstery to lightly used pieces rather than daily seating in a busy household.
