Borage Barbed Berry

Emery Walker`s House Fabric Collection FabricMOF0177-03

Borage Barbed Berry brings a muted berry-red ground together with an intricate cream floral pattern. The closely packed design has a softly faded, powdery quality rather than a bright or high-contrast finish.

About this fabric

The swatch shows fine scrolling foliage, small floral rosettes and repeated pale, bud-like motifs picked out across the berry-red background. Its dense 15.5cm vertical and horizontal repeat creates an even, richly patterned surface at small scale. With a usable width of 138cm and a weight of 188gsm, this fabric has the versatility for both upholstery and drapery. The stated construction of 36.2 threads per centimetre supports the close, detailed appearance visible in the swatch.

How to use it

Use the dusty berry tone to bring warmth and depth to a reading chair, bench or occasional curtain, pairing it with aged cream, warm timber and muted blush accents. Its small-scale pattern also works well across coordinated cushions without overwhelming a room.

Use this finely detailed berry-and-cream floral for tailored upholstery, curtains or coordinated soft furnishings.

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