Honeysuckle & Tulip Woad/Thyme

Morris and Friends Volume II Fabrics FabricMOF0196-01

Honeysuckle & Tulip Woad/Thyme has a cool, blue-grey ground carrying a densely interlaced pattern of pale honeysuckle and tulip blooms. Sage, olive and muted tan details soften the woad tone, while the cream flowers catch the light across the surface.

About this fabric

This 230gsm fabric has a 140cm usable width, making its medium-weight construction suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The intricate botanical design repeats every 60cm vertically and 68.6cm horizontally, with paired pale blooms, curling stems and pointed leaves arranged in a structured vertical rhythm. Its woad-blue background reads muted rather than vivid, with thyme-green foliage and warm, subdued ochre notes adding depth around the ivory flowers. The 36.2 threads-per-centimetre specification supports the finely detailed appearance visible in the swatch.

How to use it

Use this cool woad-and-thyme colourway on a reading-room chair, Roman blind or full-length curtains, balancing its detailed floral surface with warm ivory walls and natural wood.

Pair the cool woad-blue ground with pale neutrals, weathered timber and muted sage accents for a collected botanical scheme.

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