Sorrel Forest

Oakham Weaves FabricSCF0131-02

Sorrel Forest brings a quiet, close-set rhythm to the Oakham Weaves collection, with small forest-green woven marks arranged across a warm cream ground. The colourway reads muted and natural rather than bright, allowing the texture to remain visible.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a dense field of small green oval-like marks, set in regular vertical lines against a lightly textured cream background. Its deep forest tone is softened by the pale ground, creating a balanced, gently mottled surface that changes subtly as the light catches the weave. At 536gsm, this is a substantial textile suited to upholstery, while the 135cm usable width supports practical cutting. The pattern repeats every 19cm vertically and 10.5cm horizontally, keeping the small-scale design consistent across a larger upholstered surface.

How to use it

Use Sorrel Forest on a tailored armchair, dining chair or compact sofa where its muted green brings a grounded botanical note without overwhelming the room. Pair it with warm woods, aged brass and cream or oatmeal plains to echo the swatch’s natural contrast.

A substantial forest-green and cream woven design for tailored upholstery with a softly patterned finish.

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