Bowood Nickel

Manor House FabricCCF0057-04

Bowood Nickel pairs a warm, pale nickel-grey woven ground with repeating charcoal trees, their fine branches scattered with rounded berry-like buds. The low-contrast palette keeps the woodland motif composed rather than rustic or brightly decorative.

About this fabric

This 367gsm woven fabric has a finely crosshatched surface that gives the light nickel-grey background a quiet textile depth. Dark charcoal tree trunks, branching stems and clustered berries create a clearly defined botanical pattern across the cloth. The pattern repeat is 31.5cm vertically and horizontally, giving the medium-scale design a steady rhythm on upholstered forms. With a 126.5cm usable width and a standard 40m length, Bowood Nickel is a practical choice for coordinating larger upholstery schemes.

How to use it

Use Bowood Nickel on a reading chair, occasional sofa or upholstered headboard where its warm grey ground can soften dark timber and charcoal accents without losing definition. Pick up the berry-black branches with deep brown, ink or muted olive accessories.

Use the warm nickel-grey ground with charcoal wood, leather or soft neutral upholstery for a quietly tailored scheme.

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