About this fabric

The close-up shows a plain textile with a fine, grain-like surface and no visible printed motif or directional pattern. Its shaded sage tone sits between green and grey, giving the colour a calm, grounded depth rather than a bright botanical freshness. The supplied catalogue identifies Ideal - Sauge as a fabric, with no performance features noted. Visually, its balanced texture and moderate-looking weight make it suitable to consider for either upholstery or drapery.

How to use it

Use this cool sage green to soften a room of warm timber, limestone or off-white upholstery, or pair it with charcoal and aged brass for a more layered, contemporary scheme. The subdued tone is especially effective where a green accent is wanted without strong saturation.

A cool, subdued sage textile whose fine texture brings quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and relaxed contemporary interiors.

Pairs well with

Ideal - Sauge 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.
