Fernery Embroidery Forest Green

Arboretum Fabrics FabricSAF0396-02

A woodland embroidery of ferns and fronds, Fernery Embroidery Forest Green is set on a pale ground that makes the stitched motifs feel crisp and decorative. The forest tones read grounded and slightly cool, with ochre accents that lift the design.

About this fabric

Fernery Embroidery Forest Green from Sanderson’s Arboretum Fabrics collection is a substantial fabric with a 140 cm usable width, a 35 m standard length and a weight of 377 gsm. The design shows repeated fern sprays and leaf forms in deep green, blue-green and muted gold threads, worked against an ivory ground for a clear, spaced-out pattern. With a 48 cm vertical repeat and 69.2 cm horizontal repeat, the motif has a generous rhythm that suits larger-scale upholstery pieces. The embroidered surface gives the fabric a textured, tailored look, while the forest-green palette keeps it natural rather than overly formal.

How to use it

Use it on an armchair, ottoman or dining head chairs where the large fern motif can be seen properly. It works especially well with walnut, tobacco leather and soft cream paint, which echo the warm and cool notes in the embroidery.

Pair with warm oak and natural linens to let the embroidered foliage read clearly.

Pairs well with

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