Melrose in Ochre/Coral pairs a soft warm ground with a trailing botanical embroidery in ochre, coral and muted grey-green. The result is lively but not loud, with the pattern reading clearly against the pale background.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a creamy base with repeated vertical sprays that combine golden ochre leaves, coral-red berries and slender grey detailing. The embroidered effect gives the surface a raised, tactile look that suits the 63% linen, 28% viscose and 9% polyester construction well. With an approximate width of 129cm and a repeat of V 40cm / H 43cm, it is scaled for a statement furnishing scheme while still feeling orderly. The overall impression is warm, sunlit and slightly traditional, with enough texture to add depth without darkening a room.

How to use it

Use it on relaxed curtains, occasional chairs or a padded headboard where the ochre ground can glow in natural light. It works especially well with chalky neutrals, warm wood and the softest sage or stone tones.

The warm ochre ground and coral sprigs give this embroidery a refined, sunny lift.

Pairs well with

Melrose Ochre/Coral is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
