About this fabric

The design is filled with curling stems, elongated sage-green leaves, hanging blue bell flowers and stylised ochre flowers with pale centres. Against the cream background, the green reads muted and leafy rather than dark, while the blue adds a clear, cool accent and the ochre brings gentle warmth. This wallpaper has a 23 cm vertical pattern repeat and a 0 cm horizontal repeat, allowing the vertical rhythm of the botanical arrangement to remain consistent across the 52 cm usable width. Supplied in a standard 10.05 m length with a 150 gsm weight, it presents the detailed repeat as a continuous decorative surface.

How to use it

Use Woad/Nettle to bring a cool garden palette into a study, bedroom or hallway, then echo its ochre flowers in cushions, ceramics or painted furniture. Cream upholstery and natural wood will keep the sage and woad tones feeling light and balanced.

Pair the cool sage and woad-blue foliage with warm cream, natural timber and ochre accents.

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