Arbour Forest Green

Marius FabricF4855-01

Arbour Forest Green shows a soft tree-and-branch pattern set over a warm ivory ground, with the foliage washed in layered green tones. The overall effect is airy and understated rather than dense or dark.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has a natural handle that suits both relaxed upholstery and drapery, with the listed width of approximately 133cm and a repeat of V 64cm / H 67cm approx. In this colourway, the leafy canopy reads as muted forest green, sage and blue-green, with slender brown trunks giving the design a painterly woodland feel. The pale background keeps the motif light and breathable, so the pattern feels decorative without overpowering a room. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

This green-on-ivory colourway works well in rooms that want a calm, country-house mood without heavy colour. Pair it with pale timber, stone, and soft neutrals to let the leafy motif remain the focus.

Use it for curtains or statement upholstery with quiet country-house character.

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