About this fabric

This 100% linen fabric has a soft, natural handle and a clearly defined printed or woven ornamental pattern, with a vertical repeat of 88cm and a horizontal repeat of approximately 93cm in half drop. The ground reads as a lively coral-red rather than a dark crimson, which gives the design more brightness and warmth. Cream, sand and pale blue details lift the large-scale leaf motifs and keep the pattern airy despite its generous repeat. At approximately 140cm wide, it is well suited to full-length drapery where the colour can bring a room to life.

How to use it

Use this colourway for curtains in rooms that need warmth and movement, especially where the red can pick up timber, brass or neutral upholstery. It also suits a relaxed formal scheme with pale walls and darker accent pieces.

A vivid coral-red linen with graceful leaf motifs that works beautifully in statement curtains or elegant soft furnishings.

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