About this fabric

This Morris & Co. outdoor fabric has a substantial 585gsm weight and a 141cm usable width, making it particularly well suited to hard-wearing upholstery. The pattern is formed from layered blue-grey stems, leaves and floral motifs, with the softly chalked contrast creating more depth than a flat blue-and-white print. Its 67cm vertical and 71cm horizontal repeats give the design a confident medium-scale presence across larger upholstered forms. With 53.3 threads per centimetre, the tightly woven surface reads as robust and textured rather than lightweight or fluid.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey and ivory colourway on a garden sofa, occasional chair or bench where its botanical detail can stand out against warm timber, pale stone and natural rattan. It also brings a crisp, quietly traditional note to an indoor room that opens onto a terrace or conservatory.

A weighty outdoor weave with a cool blue-grey botanical pattern that brings tailored country character to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Thistle Weave River Wandle 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.
