About this fabric
This woven colourway combines a rich red-plum ground with slim patterned stripes, where cream and muted mauve details sit alongside touches of ochre and rust. The 60% jute and 40% cotton construction has a dry, tactile appearance rather than a glossy finish. It is 135 cm (53.04") wide, with a 3 cm (1.18") vertical pattern repeat and a 27 cm (10.61") horizontal repeat. A 54,000 Wyzenbeek Cotton Duck rub test supports its listed use for loose and fixed upholstery, as well as curtains and bedspreads. Care requires professional dry cleaning; do not wash, bleach or iron.
How to use it
Use this deep burgundy-plum stripe on a tailored armchair, headboard or full-length curtain where its cream, mauve and ochre detailing can soften the depth of the ground. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and quiet neutral upholstery to let the patterned bands remain the focus.
A tactile plum-and-rust stripe with intricate diamond detailing, suited to upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Worlds Apart Plum 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.
