About this fabric

The design repeats slender, curling boughs filled with narrow leaves in varied muted sage greens, with warm brown stems tracing the pattern across the pale cream background. Its restrained, slightly cool green palette gives the wallpaper a fresh, quietly collected character rather than a bright or heavily saturated look. The vertical pattern repeat is 23cm, while the horizontal repeat is 0cm. Each standard roll is 10.05m long with a 52cm usable width, and the listed weight is 158gsm.

How to use it

Pair this cream-and-sage colourway with warm white paint, pale timber and natural linen, allowing the brown stems to connect with oak or walnut accents. It is especially effective where the soft green foliage can be read clearly against generous daylight.

Use the muted sage foliage and warm brown stems to bring gentle botanical colour to a calm, light-filled room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Willow Boughs Minor Privet 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.
