About this fabric

This colourway sets warm, muted cardinal red against pale sage and cream, creating a softly faded yet graphic impression. Within each red band, a cream-edged scalloped motif forms a serrated vertical line, while narrow broken stripes add delicate texture between the larger bands. The 100% linen is approximately 137cm wide and specified for curtains and fixed upholstery, with a General Domestic upholstery grade. Allow 3% shrinkage; care is by Delicate Wash at 30°C or Dry Clean.

How to use it

Use the dusty red as an accent on a window seat, occasional chair or relaxed curtain, balancing it with pale sage, warm ivory and natural timber. The vertical pattern suits rooms that benefit from a little height without introducing a high-contrast colour scheme.

A distinctive linen stripe that brings dusty red warmth and pale sage contrast to curtains or fixed upholstery.

Pairs well with

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