About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has a naturally dry, slubbed surface that suits its artisanal, hand-printed feel. The repeat is approximately V 147cm / H 68cm, and the 136cm width gives the design good scale for statement curtains or upholstered pieces. Kerala Paprika reads as warm and earthy rather than bright, with burnt terracotta and saffron accents lifted by cream and dusky plum details. The vertical motif creates a strong sense of rhythm, while the linen base keeps the pattern feeling relaxed and tactile.

How to use it

Use it on accent chairs, ottomans or full-length drapery where the vertical pattern can run uninterrupted. It pairs well with limewashed walls, aged brass and deep chocolate wood to emphasise the paprika warmth.

A warm, characterful weave that brings colour and movement to casual schemes.

Pairs well with

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