About this fabric

The close-set branches layer pale green highlights with deeper sage marks, creating a softly shaded pattern rather than a bold, high-contrast print. Its 215 gsm weight and 140 cm usable width make this a versatile mid-weight for both upholstery and drapery. The 45 cm vertical repeat and 28 cm horizontal repeat keep the leafy design moving in a compact, regular rhythm. With 38.5 threads per cm, the cloth has a closely constructed specification suited to its Outdoor Performance classification.

How to use it

Use this cool, muted sage colourway to soften outdoor seating, bench cushions or relaxed curtains, pairing it with warm ivory, pale timber and deeper olive accents. Its dense small-scale foliage is especially effective where a room needs pattern without a strong visual block.

The softened sage foliage brings a cool, quietly natural character to outdoor seating, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Willow Bough Sage 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.
