Rosehip Black/Ecru

Little Book of Morris Fabrics FabricMOF0061-05

Rosehip Black/Ecru pairs a warm ecru ground with dense black leafy sprigs, creating a fine botanical pattern with a crisp, graphic edge. The close-set foliage gives the swatch a lively surface without introducing bold blocks of colour.

About this fabric

This Morris & Co. fabric has a 300gsm weight and 49 threads per cm, giving the design a substantial, closely made textile specification. Small leaves and curling stems repeat evenly across the cloth, with the 34cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat keeping the botanical rhythm compact. The black motifs sit clearly against the softly warm ecru background, producing stronger contrast than a tonal neutral while remaining restrained. It is supplied in a 137cm usable width and a 60m standard length.

How to use it

Use Rosehip Black/Ecru on a chair, bench or pair of cushions where its warm ecru ground can soften the contrast of the black foliage. It also works well with dark wood, aged brass and plain ecru or charcoal textiles.

A crisp black-and-ecru leafy pattern with enough visual definition for upholstery and soft furnishings.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Rosehip Black/Ecru 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.
