Dianthus Red/Green shows a soft cream ground lifted by scrolling floral motifs in rose, sage and pale sky tones. The pattern reads as airy and decorative, with the blossoms and leaves spaced in a classic, formal repeat.

About this fabric

This fabric from the Marius collection by Colefax and Fowler has a broad repeat, measuring approximately V 76cm by H 65cm, which gives the floral motif room to open up across curtains or statement upholstery. The composition is 37% viscose, 32% linen, 26% cotton and 5% polyester, so the surface has a natural, softly textured look with a slight smoothness in the weave. In this colourway, the cream background keeps the design light while the red-pink flowers and muted green foliage add a romantic, slightly faded quality rather than a bright contrast. The overall effect is elegant and heritage-inspired, with enough visual detail to hold interest from a distance.

How to use it

Use it for full-length drapery where the large repeat can be seen properly, or on an occasional chair against painted walls in warm stone, sage or chalk white. The gentle cream base and softened red-green palette work especially well in rooms that need pattern without heaviness.

A refined scenic floral that brings gentle colour to elegant curtains or light-use upholstery.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Dianthus Red/Green 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.
