About this fabric

The dark chocolate background gives this colourway a warm, earthy depth, while the broad olive leaves appear softly lightened against it rather than bright or saturated. Creamy white, muted yellow and dusty pink flowers punctuate the foliage, creating a detailed but balanced vintage botanical surface. The wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width and a 45.7 cm vertical pattern repeat, allowing the sweeping leaves and flowers to align in a clearly ordered rhythm. It is supplied in a standard 10.05 m length and has a listed weight of 181 gsm.

How to use it

Use this deep chocolate and olive colourway to envelop a study, dining room or reading nook, especially alongside dark timber, aged brass and warm neutral upholstery. Its pale foliage and restrained floral accents can also add depth to a lighter room without introducing a vivid, high-contrast palette.

A richly layered Morris botanical for adding depth to rooms through its dark chocolate ground and soft olive foliage.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Leicester Chocolate/Olive 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.
