About this fabric

Woven in a 35% linen, 35% viscose and 30% cotton blend, this fabric has the body and versatility to work across drapery and lighter upholstery schemes. The 127cm approximate width and large repeat of V 75cm / H 64cm mean the motif has plenty of room to breathe, letting the flowers and curling stems read clearly across a room. In this colourway the red ground feels warm and slightly softened rather than bright, while the layered petals bring in pink, green, gold and cream accents for extra depth. The overall effect is decorative and assured, with enough texture in the cloth to keep the surface from looking flat.

How to use it

Pair this warm red with pale plaster, aged wood and muted greens to balance the floral richness. It suits statement curtains, cushions or an occasional chair where the colour can add energy and depth.

Use it where a lively red floral can bring warmth and movement without feeling too heavy.

Pairs well with

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