About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Pinetum Prints collection has a usable width of 137 cm and a regular repeat of 14 cm vertically by 17 cm horizontally, giving the small leaf design a neat, rhythmic spread across the cloth. At 252 gsm and 38 threads per cm, it presents as a medium, substantial fabric that should hang well while still having enough body for upholstery or curtains. The colourway reads as a softened blue with a clay-like, slightly dusty cast, lifted by cream leaves and warm terracotta accents. The printed leaves have a crisp outline against the ground, so the overall effect is fresh and orderly rather than dense or dark.

How to use it

Use this blue-clay leaf print where you want a quiet pattern with a gentle country-house feel. It works particularly well with natural woods, pale painted finishes and warm neutrals that echo the cream and terracotta in the motif.

A fresh, airy leaf print with a softly weathered blue ground and warm cream accents.

Pairs well with

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