About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen, this 137cm-wide fabric has a close plain weave that creates subtle tonal movement across the red ground. The shade reads as a muted country red, balanced between brick and berry, rather than a bright or glossy scarlet. Its gently textured surface is particularly effective when gathered into curtains, while the restrained plain design also suits tailored or relaxed cushions. Usage is specified as Curtains and Cushions, with Dry Clean after-care.

How to use it

Use this warm country red at the window to add grounded colour against cream, weathered timber or soft taupe walls. Repeat it on cushions where its fine linen texture can provide quiet depth without competing with patterned furnishings.

A warm, muted red linen with a finely visible plain weave, suited to curtains and relaxed cushion covers.

Marietta Country 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.
