About this fabric

This colourway has a warm coral-red base that gives the trailing branches and birds a lively, vintage brightness without feeling harsh. The print reads clearly at a distance because of the large repeat, approximately V 79cm / H 128cm, and the 128cm width makes the design feel expansive across a larger drop or upholstered panel. Woven in 73% Linen, 21% Viscose and 6% Polyester, it has the relaxed character of linen with a smoother, more polished finish from the viscose content. The fine detail and soft sheen visible in the swatch suit a decorative scheme where the pattern can remain the focus.

How to use it

Pair this coral red with pale wood, chalky neutrals or faded blues to keep the palette fresh. It works especially well on a sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain where the branching motif can spread out.

Use to bring a vivid, decorative warmth to statement upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

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