Pure Marigold Trail Embroidery Lightish Grey

Pure Morris North Fabrics FabricMOF0106-01

Pure Marigold Trail Embroidery Lightish Grey combines a cool, pale grey ground with repeated ivory-white sprays of finely divided leaves. The vertical botanical trails create a calm rhythm, while the light-on-light contrast keeps the pattern airy rather than dramatic.

About this fabric

The lightish grey background has a softly woven appearance, overlaid with raised-looking ivory leaf motifs that form three clear vertical columns in the photographed swatch. Its pattern repeat measures 28.7 cm vertically by 44 cm horizontally, giving the foliage a medium, regularly spaced scale. At 474 gsm and 96 threads per cm, this is a substantial textile with enough visual and physical presence for upholstery. The usable width is 132 cm, supplied in a standard 25 m length.

How to use it

Use this cool grey colourway on a traditional armchair, headboard or occasional seat where the ivory foliage can read clearly against the upholstery shape. Balance it with chalky whites, pale oak and muted blue-grey accents rather than warm, saturated colours.

Pair the cool pale grey ground with ivory, chalk or softly contrasting blue-grey upholstery for a fresh botanical scheme.

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.
