About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric is woven in a 70% linen and 30% viscose blend, giving the surface a natural, lightly slubbed handle with a softer finish than pure linen. The pattern repeats in vertical bands at approximately 39cm high and 65cm across, creating a clear striped rhythm across the 130cm width. In this colourway, the red motif reads as warm and lively rather than deep or sombre, while the forest-green outline keeps the design grounded against the pale background. The overall effect is tailored yet decorative, with enough visual presence for statement curtains, cushions or smaller upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use this colourway where you want a light ground with a stronger accent stripe: it works well in traditional sitting rooms, bedroom curtains or bench cushions. The red and forest pairing brings a lifted, slightly vintage freshness to pale wood, painted furniture and heritage palettes.

A fresh striped pattern that balances the red motif with soft green flourishes.

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