Mercia Apple/Spice

Northwood Fabric FabricCCF0743-01

Mercia Apple/Spice layers a soft cream ground with a dense botanical arrangement of sage and olive leaves, pale leaf outlines and small rust-spice berries. Its muted, warm colouring gives the design a quietly autumnal character without becoming dark.

About this fabric

The 224 gsm fabric has an even mid-weight appearance, making it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Against the creamy background, apple-sage and olive leaves sit alongside finely drawn pale foliage, while scattered rust and ochre berries provide the strongest points of colour. The pattern repeats over 64 cm vertically and 68.5 cm horizontally, giving the leafy composition a noticeable but not oversized scale. It has a 137 cm usable width and a standard length of 40 m.

How to use it

Use Mercia Apple/Spice on a reading chair, relaxed sofa or full-length curtains where its sage foliage can sit with warm timber, oat linen and russet accents. The cream ground keeps the spice details lively while maintaining a light overall impression.

Use this warm botanical colourway to bring gentle pattern and natural depth to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

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