About this fabric
This Sanderson fabric from A Celebration of the National Trust has a usable width of 130 cm and a substantial 364 gsm weight, which gives the cloth enough body for upholstery-led use. The design is a repeated botanical trail with a 48 cm vertical repeat and 43.3 cm horizontal repeat, and the small leaf forms are drawn in a muted steel blue that feels cool rather than bright. Against the linen-coloured ground, the foliage also picks up soft beige, grey and ochre tones, so the overall effect is calm and natural. At 37.2 threads per cm, the weave reads as closely made and neatly detailed, supporting the crisp outline of the leaf shapes.
How to use it
Use this colourway on a pair of armchairs, a bench cushion or a covered ottoman where its cool blue leaves can soften a room without feeling heavy. It sits especially well with pale oak, chalk paint and other linen-toned textiles.
A cool, understated leaf design that works beautifully on country-style seating and relaxed soft furnishings.

Pairs well with
A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Quercus Linen/ Steel Blue 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.
