Sidbury Red

Lamorna Chk & Stp FabricF4764-01

Sidbury Red is a small, evenly set check with a gentle washed look, shown here in a muted pink-red over a pale linen ground. The fine grid gives the colourway a tidy, understated rhythm rather than a bold contrast.

About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric is woven in 84% linen and 16% viscose, with an approximate width of 140cm and a vertical and horizontal repeat of about 4cm. The cloth reads as a light, airy check, with softened red-pink lines that sit calmly against the natural beige-linen background. In this colourway the red is not bright or saturated; it feels faded and restrained, which keeps the design relaxed and easy to live with. The visible texture is crisp rather than heavy, and the small-scale grid adds detail without overpowering the surface. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Sidbury Red to add quiet pattern to a bedroom chair, kitchen banquette, or lined curtains where the soft red tone can warm a pale room. It pairs especially well with putty, chalk white, and aged timber finishes.

A softly faded check that works neatly on tailored upholstery or light curtains.

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.
