About this fabric

Fernanda Old Pink from the Hailsham collection by Colefax and Fowler is a patterned fabric with a large vertical repeat of approx. 77cm and a horizontal repeat of approx. 64cm, set on a width of approx. 128cm. The blend of 64% linen, 25% polyester and 11% viscose gives the cloth a natural, lightly textured look with a refined finish. This colourway reads as a gentle old pink with a peachy warmth, while the ivory peacocks, blossoms and trailing stems bring a soft contrast that keeps the design airy. The overall effect is decorative and elegant rather than bold, with enough presence to suit an upholstered piece or a fuller curtain.

How to use it

Use this old pink colourway to soften a formal sitting room, especially where the warm blush ground can echo limestone, timber or aged brass. It also works well as a statement drape or occasional upholstery when you want the peacock motif to feel romantic rather than high-contrast.

Pair with pale linens and warm wood for a quietly opulent look.

Pairs well with

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