Bedgebury Merlot

Name: Bedgebury Merlot
Brand: Ashley Wilde
SKU: BEDGEBURY

Bedgebury Merlot presents a richly coloured woodland scene, with pale tree motifs set against a deep wine-red ground. The repeating pattern reads as decorative and layered, with the foliage picking up soft sage, olive and beige accents.

About this fabric

This Ashley Wilde fabric from the Sherwood Collection is supplied as drapes only and has a substantial 300gsm weight, giving it a fuller curtain handle rather than a light sheers' drape. The design is conversational in style, with repeated tree forms and fine leaf detail that are clearly visible in the image. Merlot comes through as a dark, saturated red with a warm, velvety depth, while the branches and leaves introduce muted green and antique gold notes that soften the overall effect. The fabric is woven in 80% recycled polyester and 20% polyester, and the 144cm width makes it practical for made-to-measure window dressing. Its 37cm vertical and 36cm horizontal repeats support a regular, rhythmic layout across larger curtain drops.

How to use it

Use this colourway for formal curtains in rooms with oak, walnut, or painted cream joinery, where the deep red ground can add warmth. It also works well with heritage interiors, especially when paired with brass hardware and textured neutrals.

Pair with antique brass, dark wood, and soft ivory to let the rich berry ground and pale tree motifs stand out.

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