About this fabric

This colourway has a muted old-rose cast rather than a bright pink, with the design sitting subtly within the weave so the surface feels textured and atmospheric. The 53% viscose, 25% linen and 22% cotton composition gives it a soft handle and a natural-looking finish that suits both upholstery and drapery applications. At approximately 142cm wide, it offers a generous working width, and the repeat of V 64cm / H 36cm approx allows the pattern to read with gentle rhythm across larger pieces. The tone is warm and slightly chalky, so the detail appears more tonal than contrasty, which keeps the overall effect refined. Care code Q 8 : T 3 and fire code √CM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Ruskin Old Pink on a small sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtains where its warm blush tone can soften sharper architectural lines. It pairs especially well with pale oak, aged brass and layered neutrals.

A warm blush ground that softens wood tones and suits layered, classic interiors.

Pairs well with

Ruskin 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.
