Carmine Cream has a softly luminous cream ground that gives the Ellerdine pattern a light, classical feel. Pastel blue, sage and pale gold motifs sit clearly against the background without losing the fabric’s airy character.

About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric is composed of 61% linen, 27% viscose and 12% polyester, with an approximate width of 130cm and a repeat of V 58cm / H 65cm. The visible finish is crisp rather than heavy, with a linen-forward surface that supports the embroidered-style floral drawing and keeps the palette clean. In this Carmine Cream colourway, the ground reads as a warm off-white cream, while the motif is softened with muted blue, sage green and pale gold accents. The overall effect is elegant and slightly antique, with enough structure for upholstery and enough visual clarity for drapery.

How to use it

Use Carmine Cream where you want a decorative fabric to feel light rather than overpowering: on a sofa, occasional chair or relaxed curtains against painted woodwork. Its warm cream base works especially well with muted greens, pale blues and natural timber.

A refined cream base that lets the pastel floral detailing feel airy and elegant.

Pairs well with

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