Tansy Soft Red

Tansy Soft Red combines a warm, muted salmon-red ground with a finely scattered pale motif. The close pattern gives the swatch a softly textured, almost stippled appearance at a distance.

About this fabric

Made from 100% cotton, this 136 cm-wide fabric is patterned with tiny pale tansy-like marks that sit closely across the soft red ground. Its 21 cm vertical repeat and 19.4 cm horizontal repeat create an even small-scale design that remains gentle rather than visually dominant. The warm, dusty red has a softened vintage quality, with the light motifs bringing subtle brightness across the surface. It is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads; care requires professional dry cleaning, with no washing, bleaching or ironing.

How to use it

Use this muted soft red on a relaxed armchair, upholstered headboard or informal curtains where its small pale motif can add warmth without overwhelming the room. It pairs naturally with chalky creams, aged timber and quiet olive or taupe accents.

A softly faded red ground with a delicate, closely scattered motif for relaxed upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Tansy Soft Red 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.
