About this fabric

This fabric is a 139cm-wide cloth in 41% viscose, 40% linen, 11% cotton, 5% acrylic and 3% polyester, with a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx, so the pattern sits as a steady woven stripe rather than a motif. In this leaf green colourway, the palette is washed and mineral-like, with cool minty notes and a gentle cream lift running through the weave. The linen content shows in the dry, natural-looking texture, while the viscose adds a smoother, slightly softened finish. It is a calm, low-contrast fabric that feels lighter and airier than a saturated green, making the stripe effect subtle at a distance and more textured up close.

How to use it

Use it on a tailored armchair, ottoman or slim headboard where the soft green can bring freshness without overpowering the room. It also suits curtains or blinds in a light-filled interior, where the woven striping will read as quiet texture rather than strong pattern.

A fresh, quietly textured green that works beautifully across both seating and soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

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