About this fabric

This Sherborne Poppy colourway has a saturated poppy red ground with a fine vertical slub that gives the surface a softly textured, linen-rich look. Made from 70% viscose and 30% linen, it has a smooth but slightly dry handle visible in the weave, which helps the colour feel bright and even across the cloth. With a width of 140cm and no pattern repeat, it is straightforward to pattern-match and use for larger fixed pieces. The finish feels confident and dressy, with enough texture to stop the red from looking flat.

How to use it

Use this bright red as a statement on a compact occasional chair, box cushion or headboard where the colour can stay crisp and central. It also works well against walnut, blackened metal or warm neutral walls for a sharp, modern contrast.

A vivid red linen-viscose that brings clean colour and a crisp, tailored finish.

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.
