Melcombe Stripe Tomato

Melcombe Stripe Tomato pairs a soft natural linen ground with slim vertical stripes in warm tomato red. The effect is crisp but quietly lived-in, with the weave keeping the colour from feeling too sharp.

About this fabric

This Brooke Stripes fabric is 100% linen, with a width of approx. 140cm and a vertical repeat of approx. 0cm / horizontal repeat of approx. 7.5cm. In this colourway, the fine stripe sequence reads as tomato red with muted coral and earthy undertones against a pale flax-toned ground. The linen surface has a dry, lightly slubbed character that gives the stripes a soft edge rather than a glossy finish. With its balanced cloth and modest stripe scale, it feels versatile enough for both upholstery and drapery in relaxed interiors. The √BM fire code and Q 8 + T 3 care marking support its practical use in the home.

How to use it

Use this stripe to add warmth to a country bedroom, a breakfast nook, or loose covers where the tomato tone can brighten timber and painted finishes. It also works well with cream, weathered oak, and soft green accents.

A classic linen stripe with a lively tomato accent that brings warmth without feeling too strong.

Pairs well with

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