Thurloe Stripe Red

Thurloe Stripe Red shows a fine vertical stripe in a softened red that sits over a warm ivory ground. The effect is crisp but relaxed, with the linen-rich texture keeping the colour from feeling harsh.

About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric combines 84% viscose with 16% linen, giving the stripe a smooth yet slightly slubby handle that reads clearly in the weave. The pattern repeats vertically with a horizontal repeat of approximately 6cm and a width of approximately 142cm, making it straightforward to plan for matching. In this colourway, the red is muted rather than bright, so the stripes feel more tailored and heritage-inspired than graphic. The pale ground lifts the design and leaves it suitable for room schemes that need pattern without heaviness. With no performance features noted and a √BM fire code, it is a practical decorative textile for considered interiors.

How to use it

Use it on dining chairs, bedside cushions, or a neat blind where the restrained red can add definition. It works especially well with oak, aged brass, and chalky neutrals that echo the warm ground.

Pair with quiet linens and timber for a tailored, heritage feel.

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