Fenne Mimosa

Name: Fenne Mimosa
Brand: Sanderson
SKU: SAF0282-01

Fenne Mimosa brings a fresh, sunlit yellow to the Linnean Weaves collection, set into a neat, sharply worked zigzag check. The colour reads soft rather than brash, with a pale cream ground that keeps the pattern feeling bright and airy.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric has a substantial 462 gsm body and a usable width of 136.5 cm, giving the woven surface a confident, upholstery-friendly feel. The small repeating motif measures 6.5 cm vertically and 6.7 cm horizontally, creating a compact chevron rhythm that looks orderly and lively at once. In this Mimosa colourway, the yellow sits between primrose and muted mustard, softened by the light ground so the pattern feels warm rather than heavy. With 172 threads per cm, the weave reads tightly detailed and pleasantly crisp across the swatch.

How to use it

Use Fenne Mimosa on a statement chair, window seat or tailored cushions where its golden zigzag can add lift without overwhelming the room. It pairs well with painted wood, natural linen and oak tones, especially in rooms that need a touch of warm daylight.

A crisp mimosa stripe that lifts timber, rattan and pale upholstery beautifully.

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