About this fabric

The pattern has a medium-scale repeat of 66 cm vertically by 67.3 cm horizontally, creating an abundant but clearly legible arrangement across the cloth. Its nettle-toned foliage shifts from soft sage to olive green, while woad-blue flowers and muted peach blossoms provide cool and warm accents. At 483 gsm and 135 cm usable width, this is a substantial fabric particularly suited to upholstered chairs, sofas and headboards. The 22 threads-per-cm construction supports the detailed, closely packed appearance visible in the swatch.

How to use it

Use Nettle/Woad on a statement armchair or occasional seat against chalky walls, natural timber and oat-coloured linens. Repeat the woad blue in a cushion or ceramic accent, while the peach flowers can warm an otherwise cool, botanical scheme.

A softly colourful Morris & Co. floral for upholstered seating, pairing well with warm neutrals and aged wood.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Wild Tulip & Vine Embroidery Nettle/Woad 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.
