About this fabric

The colourway reads as cool and gently muted: sage-green foliage and blue floral medallions sit against a light cream ground, giving the design more freshness than warmth. Its 300 gsm weight and 19.5 threads per cm create a substantial mid-weight cloth suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications. The pattern repeats over 37 cm vertically and 35 cm horizontally, keeping the floral detail consistent without becoming oversized. With a 139 cm useable width, it offers practical coverage for curtains, blinds, cushions and selected upholstery projects.

How to use it

Pair the cool nettle green and woad blue with chalky whites, pale oak and soft grey-blue for an airy country scheme, or use it on a statement chair against deeper blue-painted joinery. The compact repeat also works neatly on cushions and smaller upholstered pieces.

Use this cool sage-and-blue floral for curtains, occasional upholstery or coordinated cushions in a light, collected interior.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Little Chintz Nettle/Woad 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.
