About this fabric

This 100% linen fabric has a natural, slightly slubbed look that suits its relaxed but refined embroidered pattern. The repeat is approximately V 39cm / H 34cm, which gives the trailing branches a clear vertical rhythm across the cloth. In this colourway, the ground is a gentle cream while the foliage sits in muted green with small red and ochre flower details, so the overall effect is fresh rather than bold. At 134cm wide and with Q 8 + W 3 care guidance plus √BM fire code, it is a practical decorative textile for elegant interior schemes.

How to use it

Use this cream-and-green colourway for curtains or blinds in rooms that need a soft, finished look without heavy contrast. It works especially well with painted timber, pale oak and restrained floral schemes where the delicate red accents can be repeated in cushions or trims.

A restrained cream linen with delicate botanical embroidery that feels fresh and tailored.

Pairs well with

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