Mercia Summer

Northwood Fabric FabricCCF0743-03

Mercia Summer layers delicate leafy forms and small berries across a warm cream ground, with muted sage, dusty blue and ochre creating a softly weathered botanical effect. The closely spaced design has plenty of detail without becoming visually harsh.

About this fabric

The pattern combines outlined leaves, pointed foliage and clusters of dark blue berries, with ochre leaves adding small pockets of warmth against the pale background. Its 224gsm weight gives this textile a versatile mid-weight presence, suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The usable width is 137 cm, while the pattern repeats at 64 cm vertically and 68.5 cm horizontally. Supplied in a standard 40 m length, Mercia Summer is a practical choice when a detailed botanical repeat is needed across a larger scheme.

How to use it

Use the cream ground as a light base for a relaxed sitting room, then echo the sage and dusty blue in painted furniture or plain cushions. Ochre accents will draw out the warmer leaves without competing with the dense botanical detail.

A softly coloured botanical print that brings cream, sage, dusty blue and ochre together with an easy country feel.

Pairs well with

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