Poppy Pods Olive/Almond

Name: Poppy Pods Olive/Almond
Brand: Sanderson
SKU: SAF0234-02

Poppy Pods Olive/Almond brings a delicate, hand-painted seedhead trail across a warm almond ground. The olive-green stems and pods feel light and botanical, with a soft, meadow-like rhythm.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Embleton Bay Fabrics collection has a usable width of 139 cm, a standard length of 60 m, and a 72 cm vertical repeat with a 46 cm horizontal repeat. At 250 gsm and 35.4 threads per cm, it sits in a versatile mid-weight range that can work for either upholstery or drapery depending on the application. The print reads in muted olive and pale almond tones, with a gentle tonal variation that keeps the poppy heads looking soft rather than sharp. Against the light background, the stems appear slender and airy, giving the design a fresh, understated presence.

How to use it

Use it where you want a botanical motif that stays quiet rather than busy: on small upholstered pieces, window seats, or relaxed curtains. The almond ground helps it sit easily with oak, wicker, limewash, and other natural finishes.

Its airy olive stems and pale almond ground suit a calm, natural scheme.

Pairs well with

Poppy Pods Olive/Almond is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
