Tree Poppy Red/Forest brings the Cristabel design to life in warm poppy reds set against leafy forest-green accents and a pale ground. The effect is painterly and decorative, with a lively floral rhythm that feels romantic rather than brash.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has the dry, natural handle and softly relaxed character you would expect from a cloth of this type, while the approx. 130cm width and V 75cm / H 65cm repeat make the scale feel generous and clearly pattern-led. In this colourway, the blossoms read as tree-poppy red with pinker rose notes, so the overall impression is warmer and slightly softer than a pure scarlet scheme. The forest greens in the leaves and stems add depth and definition, while the pale background keeps the design airy and prevents the floral from feeling heavy. With no performance features noted and fire code √BM, it is a refined decorative textile for upholstery or drapery where the pattern can be fully appreciated.

How to use it

Use Tree Poppy Red/Forest to bring colour to a classic drawing room, conservatory, or bedroom where its leafy greens can sit comfortably alongside painted timber and antique wood. It works especially well with cream walls, aged brass, and other botanical or chintz fabrics.

Pair with quiet linens or dark timber for a richly decorative room scheme.

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