Sylvestra Tomato

Romilly FabricF4944-02

Sylvestra Tomato has a lively, sun-warmed coral-red ground broken by bands of soft ivory pattern and slender decorative borders. The effect is rhythmic and airy, with the stripe giving the fabric a clear horizontal movement.

About this fabric

Woven in a versatile fabric quality, this colourway combines 52% cotton, 19% viscose, 14% linen, 6% wool, 5% polyester and 4% acrylic, with an approximate width of 142cm and a vertical repeat of 36cm / horizontal repeat of 14cm. The swatch reads as a muted tomato shade rather than a harsh red, softened by dusty pink and peach notes that sit comfortably against the cream lattice stripes. Narrow green-black dotted trims and fine ochre lines sharpen the pattern, giving the design a tailored finish without making it feel formal. Its medium handle and balanced fibre blend make it suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

This tomato-coral stripe will bring warmth to a sofa, dining chair or bench, especially when paired with chalky neutrals and natural wood. It also works well as curtains in a light-filled room, where the cream pattern can soften the stronger red bands.

Use it for statement upholstery or full-length curtains where the warm coral-red stripes can keep a room feeling bright but grounded.

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.
