Sandford FabricF4891-04

Gilbert Stripe Green pairs a pale, creamy ground with narrow vertical bands of sage, olive and blue-grey. The stripe reads crisp and ordered, with a soft woven texture that keeps it feeling refined rather than sharp.

About this fabric

This Sandford fabric from Colefax and Fowler is composed of 41% viscose, 36% cotton, 21% polyester and 2% linen, giving the stripe a smooth but quietly textural handle. The repeat is vertical only at 0cm, with an approximate horizontal repeat of 18cm, which creates a disciplined, evenly spaced stripe across the cloth. In this colourway the greens are muted and cool-leaning, with a fresh sage tone set against a warm ivory ground and fine darker pin lines that add definition. The overall effect is smart and balanced, with enough body at 142cm wide to suit either upholstery or drapery use.

How to use it

Use it to bring a calm, tailored note to a headboard, occasional chair or Roman blind, where the soft sage stripes can sit comfortably with oak, painted wood and natural linens. It also works well in rooms that need pattern without heaviness, thanks to the pale ground and restrained colour shift.

A restrained sage stripe that works neatly on tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

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