Melford Mineral

Melford Weaves FabricSAF0338-23

Melford Mineral shows a finely woven herringbone with a calm, chalky sage tone and a softly speckled look. The effect is light and understated, with just enough structure to give the surface depth.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric has a usable width of 138.5 cm and comes in standard 40 m lengths, making it practical for both larger upholstery runs and window projects. At 270 gsm, it feels like a substantial mid-weight cloth, and the 88 threads per cm help create the tight, refined weave visible in the image. The pattern repeat is 0 cm vertically and 1.6 cm horizontally, so the herringbone reads as a steady, rhythmic texture rather than a bold motif. In this colourway, the pale mineral sage appears cool and muted, with a soft woven contrast that lifts the surface without making it feel busy.

How to use it

Use this gentle sage alongside limewash, pale oak and brushed brass for a quiet, layered room. It is especially effective where you want texture and tone rather than strong pattern.

A quietly textural sage that works across upholstery and drapery alike.

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