About this fabric

This 520gsm fabric is densely patterned with stylised cornflowers, curling stems and layered leaves in cool blue, muted nettle green, soft ochre and lemon against a light ground. The colourway feels gently contrasted rather than bright, with the blue motifs adding cool depth while the lemon areas keep the overall surface warm. Its 137cm usable width and 32cm vertical by 34cm horizontal pattern repeat give the design a clear, medium-scale rhythm across upholstery panels. A standard length of 30m supports planning for coordinated furniture pieces, while the 93 threads per cm specification reflects the closely constructed surface.

How to use it

Use this Lemon/Nettle colourway on a statement armchair, footstool or upholstered headboard where its blue and green botanical detail can be read closely. Pair it with warm ivory, aged wood and muted blue accents to draw out the softly antique, garden-inspired palette.

A richly detailed Morris floral with a warm lemon ground, cool blue accents and muted nettle-green foliage.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cornflower Embroidery Lemon/Nettle 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.
