About this fabric

This 286 gsm fabric has a 139 cm usable width, giving the repeating Strawberry Thief design room to read across both upholstery and drapery. The 53 cm vertical and 46 cm horizontal pattern repeat creates a closely spaced field of birds, flowers and leafy sprays rather than a sparse motif. Charcoal-grey provides the dominant tone, while muted coral birds, olive foliage and pale cream flowers bring measured warmth and contrast. With 39.3 threads per cm and a standard length of 60 m, it has a finely detailed surface suited to projects where the intricate print-like pattern is intended to remain visible.

How to use it

Pair this colourway with warm grey, aged timber and muted coral accents to draw out its charcoal ground and softly weathered reds. It works particularly well on a statement armchair, framed cushions or full-length curtains where the 53 cm vertical repeat can be appreciated.

Use the charcoal ground to steady the coral, olive and cream pattern on occasional chairs, cushions or curtains.

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