About this fabric

This Strawberry colourway reads as a muted, warm pink with a gentle red undertone, softened by the small woven texture visible across the surface. The plain design and compact weave create a tactile, tailored look that suits smart seating and cushioned pieces. Made in 52% polyester and 48% cotton, it is specified for heavy domestic use and has a 40,000 Martindale result, making it a practical choice for everyday interiors. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and should be professionally dry cleaned in situ according to the pattern book instructions.

How to use it

Use this shade on a sofa, occasional chair or banquette where you want colour that feels inviting rather than sugary. It pairs well with warm neutrals, oak, brass and softer greens, letting the strawberry tone stay the focal point.

A warm strawberry tone that adds colour without feeling overly bright.

Pairs well with

Paolo Strawberry 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.
