Melford Stripe Fern

Melford Weaves FabricSAF0337-06

Melford Stripe Fern is a clean vertical stripe in fresh fern green, lifted by pale ivory lines and a narrow tan accent. The overall effect is light, leafy and quietly tailored.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Melford Weaves collection has a usable width of 144 cm and a substantial 428 gsm handle, giving the stripe a confident, upholstery-friendly weight. The pattern repeat runs 1.9 cm across with no vertical repeat, creating a tight, regular stripe that feels orderly rather than busy. In this colourway the green reads soft and natural, closer to spring foliage than deep olive, while the fine ivory pinstripes and slim warm accents stop the surface from feeling flat. The weave shows a neat, lightly textural finish that suits classic seating, benches or structured window treatments.

How to use it

This fern green stripe works well on an armchair, ottoman or pelmet where its slim repeat can add movement without overpowering the room. Pair it with oak, painted cream and other muted greens for a fresh, grounded scheme.

Use for tailored upholstery or crisp blinds, with pale wood and warm neutrals to keep the stripe fresh.

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