Acanthus Weave Sage

Acanthus Weave Sage layers pale ivory acanthus leaves and curling stems over a softly greyed sage ground. The low-contrast colour balance gives the dense botanical weave a calm, lightly weathered appearance.

About this fabric

The woven ground is a quiet, greyed sage, overlaid with pale ivory acanthus leaves, curling stems and small scrolling details. At 305 gsm, it has a substantial mid-weight presence that suits both upholstery and drapery. The design repeats over 61 cm vertically and 46 cm horizontally, giving the leafy rhythm a clear, measured scale when planned across a length. With a 138 cm usable width and a 35 m standard length, it offers practical coverage for a considered scheme.

How to use it

Use this cool, muted sage colourway to soften a reading chair, headboard or pair of curtains, especially alongside warm timber and quiet ivory upholstery. Its pale foliage can also bring gentle definition to a room without introducing a strong contrast.

The softly greyed sage and ivory foliage suits relaxed upholstery, Roman blinds and full-length curtains.

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