About this fabric

The design is filled with inward-facing birds, stylised blooms, berries and scrolling leaves, picked out in slate blue, olive green, ochre and soft cream against the saturated crimson background. The contrast between the dark red ground and the lighter birds and flowers gives this colourway considerable depth, while the slate details temper its warmth. With a 52 cm usable width and a 61 cm vertical pattern repeat, the closely detailed artwork makes a substantial visual statement across the wall. Each standard length is 10.05 m, and the wallpaper has a supplied weight of 148 gsm.

How to use it

Use Strawberry Thief Crimson/Slate on a feature wall, in a study or dining room, where its deep crimson tone can sit alongside walnut, aged brass and warm ivory upholstery. Echo the slate birds with blue-grey painted joinery or accessories for a cooler counterpoint to the red ground.

Use this richly coloured wallpaper to bring depth to a traditional room, balancing its crimson ground with warm neutrals and muted green accents.

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.
