Erith Old Pink

Medora FabricF4792-10

Erith Old Pink has a softly speckled, woven surface that reads as a muted blush with a warm, chalky finish. The tiny pattern gives it movement without losing its calm, understated feel.

About this fabric

This Medora colourway is woven in a subtle small-scale texture that creates a gently mottled surface rather than a flat solid. In the photo, the pink sits in a delicate old-rose register with pale cream highlights, so the overall impression is warm, light and quietly feminine rather than vivid. The fabric is composed of 36% viscose, 30% cotton, 28% linen and 6% polyester, and at approximately 139cm wide it offers a practical cloth for furnishing and window applications. The close repeat of V 1cm / H 1cm approx helps maintain the fine, even look seen here across larger pieces.

How to use it

Use it where you want colour that softens a room without dominating it: on an armchair, bench or Roman blind it will sit beautifully beside pale timber, plaster pinks and warm neutrals. Its faded pink tone also works well against brass, oak and creamy linen textiles.

A gentle blush weave that brings warmth without feeling sugary.

Pairs well with

Erith Old Pink is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
