About this fabric

The design combines full, rounded trees with curling branches, small leaves and individual flower heads, giving the surface a clearly large-scale repeat. Its russet and terracotta accents bring warmth, while forest green, blue and ochre details add depth against the softer grey-green background. The pattern repeats every 76 cm vertically and 137 cm horizontally, matching the 137 cm usable width. At 406 gsm with 33 threads per cm, the cloth has a substantial, closely made feel suited to upholstery; the standard length is 35 m.

How to use it

Use the russet ground notes and forest foliage on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard, pairing it with warm beige, aged wood and restrained blue-green accents. The muted background keeps the abundant tree pattern grounded rather than overly bright.

Use this substantial botanical for statement upholstery, balancing its russet and forest tones with quiet neutrals.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kelmscott Tree Russet/Forest 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.
