About this fabric

The repeating Strawberry Thief design is visibly packed with paired birds, curling leaves and small floral details, giving the pattern a lively but balanced rhythm. Cream, soft blue-grey, ochre and rust-like spice accents sit against the denim ground, adding warmth without losing its cool overall character. At 226 gsm, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suitable for both upholstery and drapery. It has a 138 cm usable width, a 27 cm vertical repeat and a 23 cm horizontal repeat, with a standard 40 m length.

How to use it

Use this denim-and-spice colourway on a reading chair, occasional sofa or full-length curtains where its cool blue base can be softened with oatmeal, natural linen and warm timber. Pick out the small rust and ochre notes with plain cushions or piping in earthy spice shades.

The cool denim ground and warm spice accents bring a richly patterned Morris character to upholstery, curtains and cushions.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Strawberry Thief Denim/Spice 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.
