Hester Red shows a warm coral-red stripe layout with a pale ground, giving the design a fresh but gently worn character. The narrow patterned bands and lighter filler stripes create a neat rhythm across the linen.

About this fabric

This colourway in Kingswood by Jane Churchill is a 100% linen fabric with an approximate width of 140cm and a repeat of V 18cm / H 28cm. The swatch reads as a softened coral red rather than a deep scarlet, with a chalky, slightly sun-faded ground that keeps the stripes from feeling heavy. Fine vertical bands alternate with decorative linear motifs, so the surface has a crisp, tailored look while still retaining the relaxed slub and matte character associated with linen. The care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

This warm stripe works well on statement cushions, an accent chair, or relaxed curtains where the linen’s pale ground can keep the red feeling airy. Pair it with timber, sand, and oatmeal tones to let the coral stripe read as the room’s colour accent.

Use for tailored upholstery or drapery where a warm striped linen can bring gentle colour without overpowering a room.

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.
