Pimpernel Woad/Coral
Morris and Friends Volume I Fabrics FabricMOF0199-03
Pimpernel Woad/Coral combines a cool, muted woad-blue ground with closely drawn foliage, cream flowers and pinpoint coral details. The dense botanical arrangement has a softly vintage character, while the pale blooms lift the overall colourway.

About this fabric
The design shows repeated cream, poppy-like flowers set among curling blue-grey leaves, fine pale tracery and small coral-red buds. Woad reads as a softened blue rather than a bright navy, giving the pattern a calm depth; the cream blooms provide warmth without overpowering it. At 230 gsm and 36.2 threads per cm, this is a substantial mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. It has a 140 cm usable width, with a 34.5 cm vertical repeat and 46 cm horizontal repeat to consider when matching the botanical layout.
How to use it
Pair this cool woad-and-coral colourway with chalky creams, weathered timber and muted terracotta for a layered sitting room scheme. Its compact repeat is well suited to curtains, occasional chairs, cushions or a coordinated upholstered settee.
Use the cool woad ground to temper the warm cream flowers and small coral accents on upholstery, curtains or cushions.

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