Melford Raffia

Name: Melford Raffia
Brand: Sanderson
SKU: SAF0338-04

Melford Raffia shows a finely worked herringbone-like weave in a soft sage green with a calm, raffia-inspired feel. The small-scale pattern reads gently across the cloth, giving the surface a subtle rhythm rather than strong contrast.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric has a usable width of 138.5 cm and comes on a standard 40 m roll, making it straightforward to plan for both upholstery and drapery projects. At 270 gsm, it has enough body for seating while still feeling refined in a soft furnishing setting. The pattern repeat is a neat 1.6 cm horizontally with no vertical repeat, and that tight structure gives the weave its measured, tailored look. In this colourway, the pale sage and muted neutral threads catch the light softly, so the overall effect stays fresh, understated and slightly organic.

How to use it

Use this gentle sage tone to soften a room with oak, painted woodwork or linen textures, where its quiet pattern can add interest without dominating. It is especially effective in schemes that need a calm, natural mid-tone with enough presence for cushions, chairs or relaxed curtains.

A quiet sage weave that works beautifully on tailored upholstery or airy curtains.

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.
