About this fabric

The colourway combines muted sage foliage with deep blue-green leaves, vivid madder-red flowers, soft pink buds and small pale blossoms across a warm tan background. Fine linework and closely spaced scrolling stems give the design considerable visual depth, while the varied tones keep the overall impression balanced rather than overly bright. Supplied at 52 cm usable width, it has a 61 cm vertical pattern repeat and a standard roll length of 10.05 m. The 150 gsm specification suits it as a lightweight decorative wallcovering for carrying this intricate botanical rhythm across a room.

How to use it

Pair the warm tan ground with natural timber and woven textures, then echo the sage leaves in upholstery or paint. Deep teal accents will draw out the cooler shadows, while madder-red accessories can pick up the larger flowers without competing with the pattern.

Use this richly coloured botanical wallpaper to bring layered sage, teal and madder tones to a feature wall or full room.

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