Acanthus Apple/Sage

Acanthus Apple/Sage pairs softly muted sage and apple greens with creamy leaf highlights in a closely spaced botanical repeat. The pale, cool-toned palette gives the detailed acanthus foliage a calm, gently timeworn appearance.

About this fabric

The surface shows curling acanthus leaves layered in sage, apple green and soft cream, with fine pale accents that pick out the foliage and stems. Its detailed pattern has a medium visual scale, created by a 27.8 cm vertical repeat and 23 cm horizontal repeat. At 226 gsm, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suitable for both upholstery and drapery, with a 138 cm usable width. Each standard length is 40 metres, making it practical for coordinated room schemes using the same muted green colourway.

How to use it

Use the cool, softened greens on relaxed curtains or a window seat, then repeat the cream leaf highlights in plain cushions and painted woodwork. The restrained apple tone also works well as a patterned accent on occasional upholstery.

Use this softly muted apple-and-sage botanical to bring patterned colour to curtains, cushions or occasional upholstery.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Acanthus Apple/Sage 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.
