Willow Boughs Dove

William Morris Designs FabricCCF0728-03

Willow Boughs Dove presents a cool, pale grey ground crossed by repeating leafy branches in chalky ivory and soft blue-grey. The closely arranged foliage gives the surface gentle movement without overpowering its light tonal palette.

About this fabric

This 226gsm fabric has a usable width of 138cm, making it a versatile mid-weight choice for upholstery or drapery. Slender stems and layered leaves run diagonally across the cloth, with the 45cm vertical and 28cm horizontal pattern repeats creating a regular, measured rhythm. The dove-grey colourway reads cooler than a beige neutral, while the pale leaves catch the light softly against the muted ground. Its 40m standard length is suited to coordinating larger furnishing projects.

How to use it

Use this cool dove-grey colourway on relaxed curtains, occasional chairs or cushions, then draw out its chalky leaf tones with ivory linen, pale timber and understated blue-grey accents.

Pair the cool dove-grey ground with chalky whites, pale woods and muted blue-grey accents for a calm botanical scheme.

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