Little Book of Morris Fabrics FabricMOF0200-02

Red Car Stripe Emery Blue reads as a cool, deep blue-green rather than a bright marine blue, with pale cream and sandy accents catching across the surface. Its closely spaced vertical bands create a neat, elongated rhythm, while the small botanical-style markings add a distinctly Morris-inspired softness.

About this fabric

This Emery Blue colourway combines narrow blue-green stripes with pale cream and warm sand detailing, giving the cloth depth without making the overall pattern feel busy. Within each stripe, the small repeating marks have a delicate leafy, scrolling character, set against darker lines that keep the layout crisp and ordered. At 546 gsm and 19.5 threads per cm, its substantial woven construction is particularly well suited to upholstery. The usable width is 142 cm, with a 7.5 cm vertical repeat and an 11.5 cm horizontal repeat.

How to use it

Use the cool blue-green ground on a statement armchair, dining chair or tailored sofa, where the vertical stripe can emphasise the furniture’s height. Pair it with warm ivory, aged timber and sandy neutrals to draw out the lighter woven details without losing the colourway’s cooler depth.

Use this weighty blue-green stripe to bring crisp vertical structure and quiet Morris-inspired detail to upholstered furniture.

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.
