About this fabric

The pattern is filled with winding stems, pointed leaves and rounded fruit or flower forms, with muted ochre and russet accents warming the cool blue background. Its 73 cm vertical repeat and 68 cm horizontal repeat give the design a balanced medium-scale presence. At 326 gsm with 97 threads per cm, this is a substantial, closely constructed fabric with a softly textured surface. The 138 cm usable width supports its versatile use across upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Fruit Blue/Thyme on a reading chair, ottoman or full-length curtains where its cool blue ground can settle against warm timber, aged brass and ochre or russet accents. Its intricate botanical scale also suits cushions and occasional upholstery without losing the pattern’s depth.

A richly detailed Morris & Co. botanical with a cool blue ground, thyme leaves and warm ochre fruit.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Fruit Blue/Thyme 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.
