Melrose Chartreuse layers delicate grey branching stems and leaves over a pale sage-grey ground, punctuated by small, lively chartreuse flower clusters. Its softly textured surface gives the light background quiet depth.

About this fabric

The design shows fine grey and taupe-toned stems winding vertically across the cloth, with narrow leaves and recurring sprays of saturated chartreuse-yellow flowers. Against the cool, pale sage ground, the flowers read as fresh yet gently muted rather than vivid or heavily contrasted. With a 440 gsm weight and 137 cm usable width, this is a substantial fabric well suited to upholstery. The pattern has a 32.5 cm vertical repeat and 44 cm horizontal repeat, creating a regular, medium-scale botanical rhythm.

How to use it

Use Melrose Chartreuse on a statement chair, headboard or compact sofa, balancing its cool sage background with chalky neutrals, warm grey and natural timber. The chartreuse flower clusters work well as the room’s small, fresh accent colour.

Use this substantial botanical for upholstered seating where its pale sage ground and chartreuse flowers can bring gentle colour.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Melrose Chartreuse 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.
