Strawberry Thief Wide Width Lilac/Sage

Simply Wide Width FabricMOF0236-02

Strawberry Thief Wide Width Lilac/Sage combines a pale, softly textured ground with finely drawn birds, flowers and scrolling foliage. The cool lilac accents and quiet sage leaves give the dense Morris & Co. pattern a light, gently weathered character.

About this fabric

This 223gsm fabric is filled with repeating birds, stylised blooms, curling stems and layered leaves, visible in soft sage, faded lilac, blue-grey and cream. Its 304cm usable width makes it practical for generous curtains as well as upholstered applications where the full pattern can be appreciated. The design has a 57cm vertical repeat and a 50.6cm horizontal repeat, creating a closely balanced rhythm across the cloth. Fine surface texture and the low-contrast palette keep the intricate motif feeling calm rather than brightly saturated.

How to use it

Pair the cool lilac and sage tones with chalky walls, pale painted timber and natural linen for a quietly collected scheme. Use the wide width for full-length curtains, then echo the botanical detail on a cushion or small upholstered chair.

Use the softly muted lilac and sage palette to bring detailed pattern to curtains, cushions or occasional upholstery without overwhelming a room.

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.
