Moat Birds Blue Clay/Mallow
Sanderson x National Trust Volume II FabricSAF0483-03
Moat Birds Blue Clay/Mallow is a delicate woodland-style print set on a warm pale ground, with feathery blue trees, clay-red birds and small mallow-toned accents. The overall effect is light and airy, but the repeated motif gives it enough presence to read clearly across larger pieces.

About this fabric
This Sanderson x National Trust Volume II fabric is supplied as a 139.5 cm usable-width textile on a 60 m roll, with a 34.5 cm vertical repeat and 69 cm horizontal repeat. At 270 gsm and 44 threads per cm, it has the substance to hold a tailored finish while still showing the intricacy of the drawn pattern. In this colourway, the blue is soft and slightly greyed rather than bright, while the clay notes add warmth and keep the design from feeling cold. The pale ground lets the bird and tree motifs sit in crisp relief, so the print reads detailed and decorative without becoming heavy.
How to use it
Use it on a compact sofa, a bench seat or a pair of statement cushions where the blue-and-clay palette can sit against painted wood or stone. It also works well in rooms with pale oak, chalky blues or muted terracotta, where the gentle contrast feels collected and calm.
A fresh, illustrative print that lifts pale interiors without feeling sugary.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Moat Birds Blue Clay/Mallow 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.
