About this fabric

The repeating design shows paired birds among flowers, scrolling stems and leafy forms, with the crimson ground giving the colourway a warm, saturated depth. Slate-blue and muted olive motifs temper the red, while cream blossoms and bird details catch the eye across the weave. This 286 gsm fabric has a 139 cm usable width, making it a versatile mid-weight choice for both upholstery and drapery. Its pattern repeat measures 53 cm vertically by 46 cm horizontally, preserving the close, rhythmic arrangement when the fabric is applied.

How to use it

Use the deep crimson as a dramatic accent on a reading chair, headboard or full curtains, then pick out the slate and olive notes in painted furniture, plain linens or woven accessories. The cream details can soften the scheme without diminishing the pattern’s richly traditional character.

Use this richly coloured botanical for statement upholstery, curtains or layered country-house schemes.

Pairs well with

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