Samson Tomato/Slate pairs softened tomato pink with slate blue-green on a cream ground, giving the Braganza pattern a bright but settled rhythm. The woven design feels airy and decorative, with enough texture to hold its own without looking heavy.

About this fabric

This fabric is supplied in a 73% cotton, 27% linen composition, with an approximate width of 137cm and a vertical repeat of 31cm by 34cm horizontal repeat. In this colourway the motif reads as a pale, washed palette rather than a bold contrast: tomato tones are softened into coral blush, while the slate notes sit cool and dusty against the cream ground. The surface has a lightly textured woven look that suits the repeated diamond and teardrop forms visible in the image. With no performance features noted, it presents as a decorative furnishing cloth that feels more tailored than rustic. The overall effect is fresh, patterned and quietly colourful rather than high-drama.

How to use it

This colourway works well on a statement armchair, valance or Roman blind where the coral and slate can be seen at close range. Pair it with warm neutrals, chalky paint shades and natural oak to keep the palette light and balanced.

Use with plain linens and warm timber to let the coral and slate repeat take the lead.

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