About this fabric

Woven in 55% linen and 45% cotton, this fabric has the natural, slightly dry handle associated with a linen-rich cloth, while the cotton keeps the surface neat and even. The repeat is a very small 0.5cm horizontal repeat with no vertical repeat, which reinforces the orderly, pinstripe look seen in the image. At approximately 146cm wide, it is a practical cloth for coordinating fitted upholstery or elegant curtains where a subtle stripe is wanted. The tomato tone is softened into a pinky coral rather than a bright red, so it feels fresher and gentler in daylight.

How to use it

Use it on a compact armchair, bench or café-style curtains where the fine stripe can add structure without overwhelming the room. It pairs well with chalky whites, warm neutrals and painted wood in pale stone or muted terracotta.

A crisp ticking stripe that brings a clean, tailored lift to both relaxed and formal interiors.

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.
