Little Book of Morris Fabrics FabricMOF0028-05

In this Forest colourway, tiny botanical marks read as cool sage flecks across a soft ivory ground. The restrained contrast keeps the pattern gently atmospheric, with no single sprig dominating the view.

About this fabric

Lily Leaf Forest is shown in a pale, greyed sage green, with tiny repeated leaf-like sprigs set over an off-white ground. The close-set motif gives the surface a finely patterned, almost stippled appearance rather than a bold floral statement. At 250 gsm and 137 cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight option for both upholstery and drapery. The design repeats every 64 cm vertically and 67.5 cm horizontally, while the supplied specification records 35.4 threads per cm.

How to use it

Use the cool pale sage tone to soften a light, quietly layered scheme, allowing the small-scale pattern to sit comfortably on a chair, bench, blind or full-length curtain. Its ivory ground pairs naturally with warm whites, pale woods and understated green accents.

A cool, muted sage botanical that brings gentle pattern to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lily Leaf Forest 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.
