Dorset FabricFerndown1

Ferndown colour 1 combines a chalky blue-grey ground with softly outlined ivory leaves. Its lightly slubbed woven surface gives the colourway a dry, tactile depth rather than a flat printed appearance.

About this fabric

The repeating leaf motif is clearly defined in warm ivory against the muted blue-grey background, with enough tonal variation in the weave to keep the pattern relaxed. Fine darker threads trace some of the leaf veins, adding delicate definition without making the design feel sharp or formal. The visible cloth has a substantial, textured woven character that makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so this colourway should be selected primarily for its gentle botanical pattern and weathered tonal balance.

How to use it

Pair the cool blue-grey ground with natural oak, warm ivory upholstery and pale stone walls for a calm, lightly coastal scheme. On curtains or a feature chair, the ivory foliage will soften the room while retaining clear pattern definition.

Use this softly weathered blue-grey and ivory leaf design to bring gentle botanical character to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Ferndown colour 1 without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

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.
