Cornflower Lemon/Sage

The Unfinished Works Fabrics FabricMOF0249-03

Cornflower Lemon/Sage combines a pale ground with curling botanical stems, blue-grey cornflower tones, soft sage foliage and small lemon-yellow flowers. The close pattern creates a gently layered, illustrated surface rather than a bold block of colour.

About this fabric

This 300gsm textile has a versatile mid-weight handle, making it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Its 137.2cm usable width carries a repeating arrangement of sinuous stems, scrolling leaves and lemon-toned blooms, with the 64.3cm vertical repeat giving the design a noticeable but manageable rhythm. The 34.3cm horizontal repeat keeps the botanical pattern closely connected across the cloth. A specification of 31 threads per cm supports the finely detailed appearance visible in the swatch, where muted sage and cornflower blue-grey sit against a light, softly warm ground.

How to use it

Use Cornflower Lemon/Sage on a reading chair, bench or relaxed curtain to bring cool botanical colour into a room with chalky cream, pale timber and warm stone finishes. Pick out the lemon flowers with small brass or ochre accents rather than matching them with a strong yellow.

Use this versatile mid-weight floral for upholstery or softly structured curtains, pairing its cool sage and cornflower tones with warm neutrals.

Pairs well with

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