About this fabric

Woven in 55% viscose and 45% silk, this fabric has the fluid, polished feel you would expect from a silk-rich cloth, and it is shown here with a subtle lustre rather than a flat finish. The coral-red ground is warm and lively, leaning slightly orange rather than blue, which gives the floral design a sunlit, uplifting character. Cream, ivory and buttery yellow blooms soften the intensity of the ground, while the slender stems and pale foliage keep the overall look elegant. With an approximate width of 120cm and a vertical repeat of 57cm / horizontal repeat of 120cm, it is a considered decorative textile suited to statement curtains and refined interior dressing.

How to use it

Use this colourway where you want warmth and movement, such as full-length curtains in a drawing room or bedroom with pale wood, stone or chalky paintwork. Its coral-red tone pairs especially well with antique brass, cream upholstery and soft green accents.

A lively coral-red silk blend that brings warmth and a lightly lustrous finish to classic interiors.

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