Fairlight Red/Green
Ashdown FabricF4819-03
Fairlight Red/Green shows a loose botanical trail on a warm neutral ground, with soft red blossoms, sage-green leaves and touches of yellow throughout. The overall effect is fresh and gentle rather than vivid, giving the design a lightly country feel.

About this fabric
This colourway of Ashdown reads as an airy printed fabric with a pale, natural-looking ground that lets the stems and foliage sit softly on the surface. The 62% linen, 30% viscose and 8% polyester composition gives it a cloth-like, lightly textured appearance rather than a stiff or glossy finish. The repeat is quite substantial at V 78cm half drop by H 87cm approx, so the wandering branches and small flower clusters have room to feel balanced and decorative. At 132cm approx wide, it is a practical width for curtains, cushions or statement upholstery pieces where the pattern can be shown clearly. The red accents are muted and slightly dusty, which keeps the scheme calmer than a brighter floral and lets the green leaves carry most of the visual weight.
How to use it
Pair it with aged oak, painted sage or chalky off-white to keep the palette soft and grounded. It works especially well in rooms that want a country botanical feel with enough colour to lift pale upholstery or drapery.
Use this airy floral for relaxed country schemes, where the soft red blooms and sage stems can add colour without feeling heavy.

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