Melrose Natural combines a warm natural-cream ground with branching botanical stems, softly sage-grey leaves and small taupe blossom clusters. The woven surface gives the pale colourway a quietly tactile finish rather than a flat printed appearance.

About this fabric

The design repeats curling stems, elongated leaves and clustered flowers across the ground, with the sage-grey foliage kept muted against the warmer cream base. Taupe and soft brown accents in the blossoms add gentle depth without making the colourway feel busy or strongly contrasted. At 440gsm, with a 137cm usable width, this is a substantial fabric well suited to upholstery. The vertical pattern repeat is 32.5cm and the horizontal repeat is 44cm, useful measurements when aligning the trailing botanical layout.

How to use it

Use Melrose Natural on a chair, headboard or sofa where its warm pale ground can lighten the scheme while the sage-grey foliage links naturally with soft greens, stone and weathered wood. Taupe blossom details also sit comfortably beside natural linen and warm neutral upholstery.

A substantial natural-ground floral for upholstered pieces where its muted leaf and blossom detail can be appreciated.

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