Heatherley Red

Chilgrove FabricF4887-03

Heatherley Red sets the Chilgrove trail against a warm coral-red ground, with the floral clusters and leafy branches standing out in cream, sage and soft gold. The result is lively but softly aged, with a linen-rich texture visible beneath the print.

About this fabric

Heatherley Red from the Chilgrove collection by Colefax and Fowler is a printed fabric with a wide repeat of V 76cm / H 64cm approx and a width of 128cm approx. The composition is 30% Linen, 24% Cotton, 22% Acrylic, 22% Viscose, 2% Polyester, which suits the slightly slubby, natural-looking handle visible in the swatch. This colourway reads as a warm coral red rather than a bright primary red, so the trailing floral motif feels fresher and more relaxed than formal. Cream blossoms, pale green leaves and touches of soft blue-green soften the ground and give the design a layered, slightly painterly finish. With no performance features noted, it is best chosen for decorative schemes where pattern and colour are the focus.

How to use it

Use Heatherley Red to bring warmth to a drawing room or bedroom, especially with timber, aged brass or painted cream furniture. Its coral ground and soft botanical palette work particularly well alongside muted greens, pale neutrals and warm stone.

Use for statement curtains, loose covers or cushions where the coral ground can show off the trailing floral pattern.

Pairs well with

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