Leicester Sour Green/Plum

Leicester Sour Green/Plum pairs intensely fresh, yellow-leaning green foliage with small plum blooms and a soft ivory ground. The densely scrolling botanical is highly legible in this colourway, with pale blush flowers adding a quieter counterpoint.

About this fabric

The surface is filled with curling leaves, slender tendrils and clustered floral details, with the sour green foliage creating a bright, almost acid tonal field rather than a subdued olive. Plum and wine-coloured flower heads punctuate the design, while ivory and blush-pink petals keep the dense arrangement light. At 286gsm with 39.3 threads per cm, this is a substantial mid-weight fabric suitable for both upholstery and drapery. It has a 138.5cm usable width, with a 39.5cm vertical repeat and 92cm horizontal repeat for planning pattern placement.

How to use it

Use this colourway to energise a calm ivory, natural timber or warm neutral room, where the sour-green leaves can lead without making the scheme feel heavy. Plum piping, painted furniture or a small berry-toned cushion can pick up the darker floral accents.

The bright sour-green foliage and plum accents bring a lively Morris botanical character to upholstery, cushions or full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

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