Olivia Silk Red/Green shows a graceful bird-and-blossom design on a warm ivory ground, with the red detailing softened by sage and pale blue accents. The silk surface has a gentle sheen that gives the pattern a light, refined look.

About this fabric

This fabric is woven in a 52% Silk, 36% Viscose, 12% Polyester blend and comes approximately 130cm wide, with a repeat of V 78cm / H 130cm approx. The visible finish is smooth and lightly lustrous rather than heavy, which suits the flowing branches, small birds and scattered flowers in this colourway. Soft red tones are balanced by sage leaves, powder-blue blooms and a cream ground, creating a decorative but airy effect. The scale is substantial, so the motif reads best where it can be seen across a larger drop or expanse.

How to use it

Use it for curtains or full-length drapery in rooms that need a polished, traditional note. The creamy ground and softened red-green palette work especially well with painted woodwork, pale neutrals and aged brass.

Pair with quiet plains to let the birds and blossoms stand out.

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.
