Gillan Stripe Red

Lamorna Chk & Stp FabricF4772-01

Gillan Stripe Red shows a refined narrow stripe in warm terracotta red, softened by pale neutral lines that keep the overall effect light and breathable. The linen-cotton surface gives the colour a slightly dry, natural finish rather than a glossy or saturated look.

About this fabric

This stripe is woven in 70% linen and 30% cotton, giving it a crisp but relaxed handle that suits a range of interior uses. The repeat is approximately V 2cm / H 9cm, so the vertical striping reads clearly without feeling bold or oversized. In this colourway, the red is earthy and muted, balanced by cream and taupe-toned pinstripes that stop it from becoming too hot. With a width of approximately 146cm and no performance finish noted, it works especially well where a natural textile look is preferred.

How to use it

Use this red stripe to add gentle warmth to country upholstery, dining chairs, or Roman blinds. It pairs neatly with painted woods, worn oak, and soft off-whites, where the terracotta notes feel grounded and inviting.

A warm striped cloth that brings easy, country-house character to both curtains and upholstery.

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.
