Morris and Friends Volume I Fabrics FabricMOF0053-02

About this fabric

The design combines cowslip-like blooms, leafy sprays and fine curling stems in sage and olive greens, with muted saffron-yellow flower heads set against a warm ivory ground. Pale rose accents appear quietly within the outlines, adding warmth without overpowering the green and yellow palette. With a 137 cm useable width and a 300 gsm weight, this is a substantial mid-weight fabric suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Its 100 cm vertical repeat and 70 cm horizontal repeat create a clearly visible, continuously scrolling floral arrangement, while the 52 threads-per-cm construction gives the surface a close, even appearance. Standard lengths are supplied at 60 m.

How to use it

Use it on a reading chair, bench or full-length curtains where the ivory ground can brighten the room while the fennel-green foliage supplies structure. Pair the muted saffron flowers with warm timber, chalky paintwork or restrained rose accents rather than highly saturated colour.

Use the ivory ground with fennel-green foliage and soft saffron blooms to bring gentle botanical colour to upholstery or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Pink & Rose Cowslip/Fennel 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.
