Avery Soft Red/Green

Avery Soft Red/Green has a close, even micro-texture in a muted dusty red field, with a restrained green cast visible through the weave. The surface reads softly mottled rather than marked by a large motif.

About this fabric

Woven from 62% viscose, 23% linen, 13% polyester and 2% cotton, this colourway combines a softly rosy ground with fine green-tinged detail that gives the surface its subtle depth. At 139 cm wide, it has a very small 2 cm vertical repeat and 1.5 cm horizontal repeat, creating an almost continuous texture when viewed at length. A 28,000 Martindale rub test supports its specified use for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. Care is professional dry cleaning only: do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use the muted red-green tone to bring gentle warmth to a chair, headboard or loose cover, or carry it through full-length curtains for a softly layered scheme. It works particularly well with warm neutrals, aged timber and understated green accents.

A versatile, finely textured red-green weave for curtains, upholstery and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Avery Soft Red/Green is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
