About this fabric

Francine Red/Forest from the Ellerdine collection is a fabric with a 127cm approximate width and a repeat of V 77cm / H 127cm approx, so the pattern reads as a generous statement across the cloth. The composition is 63% Linen, 26% Acrylic, 11% Polyester, which suits the lightly textured, woven surface visible in the image. The colourway mixes coral red flowers with forest green stems and leaf detail, plus teal and ochre accents that keep the overall look bright rather than heavy. On the cream ground, the design feels airy and expressive, with the coloured motifs sitting clearly against the linen-rich base. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code K are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

This colourway works well in a room with painted timber, pale oak or walnut, where the cream ground can soften stronger furniture lines. Pair it with quiet plains in moss, oatmeal or chalk white so the coral red and forest details remain the focal point.

Use with warm woods and plain linens to let the coral-red blooms and forest accents take centre stage.

Pairs well with

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