Emery`s Willow Woad Blue

Emery Walker`s House Fabric Collection FabricMOF0181-01

Emery’s Willow Woad Blue brings a cool, softly weathered blue to a densely repeating botanical design. Fine blue stems and pointed leaves are set against a warm ivory ground, giving the swatch a gentle, lightly chalky contrast.

About this fabric

The fabric has a 139 cm usable width and a 58 cm vertical by 70 cm horizontal pattern repeat, allowing the layered foliage to read as an all-over surface. Its muted woad-blue leaves have a slightly faded, blue-grey quality rather than a bright or saturated finish, while the ivory background keeps the pattern light. At 265 gsm with 35.6 threads per cm, the cloth has a substantial but finely textured handle visible across the swatch. A 60 m standard length is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-and-ivory colourway on a reading-room chair, occasional upholstery or full-length curtains, balancing its busy foliage with plain warm neutrals and natural wood.

Pair the cool woad-blue foliage with warm ivory, pale timber and softly textured upholstery or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Emery`s Willow Woad Blue 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.
