About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric from Lelievre’s Misc collection, Athena – Sauge presents a close, finely woven surface with a softly strié appearance. Its green tone is cool and subdued, sitting between sage and softened olive, while darker and lighter threads create restrained tonal variation. The vertical texture catches the light lightly without becoming a pronounced stripe, making the colour feel calm and understated.

How to use it

Use Sauge to bring a cool, natural green note to a relaxed room, particularly on seating, cushions or full-length curtains. Pair it with warm timber, stone neutrals and softly contrasting cream textiles to keep the muted tone balanced.

A softly textured sage green with subtle vertical movement for calm upholstery or drapery schemes.

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