Oak & Blossom Thyme/Woad

The Unfinished Works Wallpapers WallpaperMOW0134-02

Oak & Blossom Thyme/Woad sets repeating botanical sprays against a pale cream ground, with cool thyme-green leaves and softly muted woad-blue flowers. The closely drawn floral forms give the colourway a calm, lightly weathered character.

About this fabric

The design is arranged in clear vertical bands, combining leafy stems, small buds and rounded flower heads in a traditional Morris & Co. botanical composition. Its cream background keeps the overall impression light, while the sage foliage and blue flowers add cool, subdued contrast rather than bright saturation. The wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width and a 23.2 cm vertical pattern repeat, allowing the floral columns to align rhythmically across the wall. Supplied in a standard 10.05 m length, it has a listed weight of 147 gsm.

How to use it

Use this cool cream, sage and woad palette in a bedroom, study or garden-facing sitting room, where its muted blue flowers can sit comfortably beside painted timber and soft natural neutrals. Repeat the woad blue in small accents while allowing the pale ground to keep the room open and composed.

A quietly traditional botanical wallpaper, pairing a pale cream ground with cool sage foliage and muted woad-blue flowers.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Oak & Blossom Thyme/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
