Benwick Leaf Green

Orwell Weaves FabricSAF0442-01

Benwick Leaf Green shows a fine herringbone weave in a gentle, leafy green tone with a slightly sunlit, yellow-leaning cast. The pattern reads crisp and orderly, while the overall effect stays soft rather than sharp.

About this fabric

This Sanderson Orwell Weaves fabric has a 137 cm usable width, a substantial 450 gsm weight, and a tight 53 threads per cm construction, giving the cloth a firm, closely woven feel. The 5.5 cm by 5.5 cm repeat creates a neat herringbone rhythm that is clearly visible without becoming bold or busy. In this colourway, the green is muted and airy, with a pale herbal quality that lightens the weave and keeps the surface looking fresh. The small-scale pattern and dense cloth make it especially well suited to upholstered pieces that need a tailored look.

How to use it

Use this soft leaf green on an occasional chair, bench, or headboard where the small herringbone can add texture without dominating the room. It pairs especially well with oak, limestone, and warm off-whites for a calm, natural scheme.

A fresh green herringbone that gives seating a tailored, quietly lively finish.

Pairs well with

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