About this fabric

The 343gsm weight gives this fabric a substantial presence for upholstery, while the 130cm useable width offers practical coverage. Its 32.5cm vertical repeat and 26cm horizontal repeat create a compact, medium-scale layout of birds, curling stems, leaves and small flowers. Against the warm cream background, blue-grey floral marks provide the coolest notes, while apple green foliage and muted russet accents give the pattern gentle depth. The standard length is 35m, making this a considered option for coordinated furnishing schemes.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a reading chair, bench or occasional seat, pairing the cream ground with natural timber and picking out the blue flowers in cushions or painted joinery. Russet and apple accents can add warmth without overpowering the pale, airy background.

A detailed cream-ground Morris design suited to upholstered seating where its blue, green and russet accents can be appreciated up close.

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.
