Lent Lily Lemon Balm
The Unfinished Works Fabrics FabricMOF0258-03
Lent Lily Lemon Balm brings a pale, garden-like palette to a densely drawn botanical textile. Sage-green leaves and curling stems sit over a warm ivory ground, with soft blue foliage and lemon-yellow flowers adding gentle colour.

About this fabric
The design is packed with upright lily-like blooms, scrolling leaves and small flowering sprigs, creating a generous 51.4cm vertical by 45.7cm horizontal repeat. Its 354gsm weight and 137.2cm usable width make this a substantial fabric for upholstery, particularly on pieces where the expansive pattern can be positioned carefully. The colourway is softly muted rather than bright: sage and celadon greens dominate, while powder blue, pale lemon and restrained terracotta details bring depth to the ivory background. With 21 threads per centimetre, the cloth has a firm, substantial specification suited to a considered, tailored finish.
How to use it
Use this soft sage colourway on a reading chair, headboard or compact sofa, pairing it with warm ivory, weathered wood and muted blue accents. Lemon-toned flowers can be picked out in cushions or trims without making the scheme feel overly sunny.
A detailed Morris & Co. botanical suited to upholstered chairs, sofas and occasional pieces where its sage, blue and lemon tones can be appreciated.

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