About this fabric

Printed on 100% linen, this 137cm-wide fabric combines the old red ground with turquoise-blue leaves, soft cream and blush flowers, tan stems and darker blue detailing. The varied botanical motifs and scrolling branches are closely arranged, giving the design depth without losing the warmth of the red background. It is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery, with Contract and General Domestic upholstery grades. Allow 3% shrinkage; after-care is Delicate Wash at 30°C or Dry Clean.

How to use it

Use the warm red base to bring depth to a study, sitting room or country-style bedroom, pairing it with aged wood, natural linen and accents picked from the turquoise foliage. It can make characterful curtains or a statement upholstered chair while the multicolour print supplies its own decorative focus.

A richly patterned linen for curtains, fixed upholstery and relaxed traditional interiors.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kitty Old Red 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.
