Claude Stripe Red

Claude Stripe Red pairs a warm, washed red stripe with a natural linen ground, giving the fabric a quietly tailored look. The narrow vertical pattern feels crisp but relaxed, with the flax tone keeping the overall effect light.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this Brooke Stripes fabric has the easy texture and slightly dry handle you would expect from a natural cloth. The stripe is set on a pale oatmeal base, with slim red and blush lines that read soft rather than bright, so the colour feels aged and gentle. With a vertical repeat of 0cm and an approximate horizontal repeat of 4cm, the stripe is cleanly regular and easy to work into a scheme. At approximately 146cm wide and marked Q 8 : T 3 with √BM fire classification, it is well suited to classic decorative uses where a smart but unfussy finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use it on a pair of Roman blinds, upholstered dining chairs, or a crisp covered bench where the faded red will add warmth without overpowering the room. It sits especially well with painted wood in cream, putty, or muted green.

A muted stripe that brings gentle warmth to classic schemes.

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