About this fabric

The dominant red is vivid and deep rather than dusty, giving this colourway a confident, high-impact presence. Fine navy and cream lines run vertically in tightly spaced groups, creating a precise stripe with a distinctly tailored character. Across the swatch, the weave looks smooth and finely textured, with a restrained sheen that subtly changes as the red catches the light. This colourway is particularly suited to drapery where its strong vertical rhythm can be appreciated at full length.

How to use it

Use Alumnus Rubis Red for full-length curtains or Roman blinds where the ruby ground can act as the room’s main colour note. Pair it with warm ivory, dark navy or restrained timber tones to echo the stripe without competing with its saturated red.

Use the vivid ruby ground and crisp navy-and-cream stripes to bring tailored colour to curtains or blinds.

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.
