Embleton Sienna/Dove

Name: Embleton Sienna/Dove
Brand: Sanderson
SKU: SAF0228-01

Embleton Sienna/Dove has a light, airy ground lifted by loose painterly flowers in cream, sand and toasted sienna. The scattered poppy-like motif feels soft and romantic rather than rigid, with the pale blue background keeping the overall effect fresh.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric is supplied on a 137 cm usable width with a 71 cm vertical repeat and 46 cm horizontal repeat, so the floral layout has generous spacing and a clear directional rhythm. At 250 gsm, it sits in a useful mid-weight range that suits both curtains and upholstery, depending on the finish and project. The print reads as warm and sun-faded rather than bright: creamy petals, honeyed sienna washes and small brown seed-head details sit over a dove-blue ground. That combination gives the design a gentle, lived-in softness, while the 35.4 threads per cm specification supports a crisp printed motif with visible painterly detail.

How to use it

Use it to soften a neutral scheme where the pale blue ground can echo painted walls or washed linens. The sienna notes add just enough warmth for cushions, occasional chairs or lined curtains without overpowering the room.

A soft, painterly floral that brings warmth without feeling heavy.

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.
