Casimir Red/Blue

Casimir Red/Blue is a lively floral linen with an ivory ground and a crisp, decorative mix of red, blue and soft green tones. The pattern feels detailed and airy, with each bloom and leaf standing clearly against the light background.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has the character and handling of a breathable natural cloth, and the approx. 137cm width makes it practical for both furnishing and window use. The design repeats on a vertical half drop, with a large repeat of V 73cm and H 91cm approx, so the overall effect is generous and rhythmic rather than tight or small-scale. In this colourway the florals read especially fresh: clear blues, raspberry reds and muted lilacs sit over an ivory base, while the foliage softens the scheme with pale sage and olive notes. The result is a bright but composed pattern that keeps its detail without feeling heavy.

How to use it

Use Casimir Red/Blue where you want colour without darkness: it works beautifully on curtains, a feature armchair or a decorative occasional sofa. The ivory ground keeps the room light, while the red and blue accents add a crisp, tailored lift.

Pair with plain linens or soft painted wood for a fresh, English country look.

Pairs well with

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