About this fabric

The colourway combines bright leaf green with quieter sage tones and ivory details, creating gentle depth without losing its clear botanical freshness. Repeating leaves and curled acanthus forms fill the surface closely, while the pale highlights help individual motifs stand apart. With a usable width of 140 cm and a 288 gsm weight, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. The pattern repeats every 53.5 cm vertically and 46 cm horizontally, giving the foliage a consistent, medium-scale rhythm.

How to use it

Use this fresh green colourway to enliven a reading chair, bench or relaxed Roman blind, pairing it with warm ivory, pale timber and restrained sage accents. Its ivory leaf detail also makes it easy to connect with light neutral walls and upholstery.

The lively leaf green and ivory foliage bring a fresh botanical accent to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Acanthus Leaf Green 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.
