About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen and supplied at approximately 137cm wide, this fabric is intended for curtains. Its plain construction is visible in the delicate crosshatched weave, which gives the saturated red surface a natural textile character rather than a flat, printed finish. Scarlet and coral tones appear across the raised areas, while folds and shaded sections deepen into crimson and burgundy. After care is dry clean.

How to use it

Use this scarlet colourway for full-length curtains in a room needing a confident warm accent; its burgundy shadows will sit comfortably with dark wood, aged brass or quieter neutral walls.

Use this richly shaded scarlet linen for full-length curtains that bring warmth and depth to a room.

Pairs well with

Danube Plain Scarlet 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.
