About this fabric

The warm crimson-red ground has a deep, saturated character, while tiny ivory and pale pink details create a finely contrasted floral field. The small design repeats every 16 cm vertically and 23 cm horizontally, maintaining a consistent ornamental rhythm across the cloth. At 230 gsm, with 36.2 threads per cm, it has a versatile mid-weight presence suited to upholstery and drapery. The usable width is 138 cm, supplied in a standard 60 m length.

How to use it

Use this warm crimson colourway to bring a richly patterned focal point to an upholstered chair, bench or pair of curtains. Pick up its pale ivory details with warm neutral walls or trim to keep the dense small-scale design clearly defined.

A warm crimson ground and tiny pale motifs bring concentrated pattern to upholstery or curtains.

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.
