About this fabric

The patterned surface shows perched birds among large anemone-like blooms, smaller flowers and scrolling leaves, arranged in clearly repeating horizontal bands. Its red-clay ground reads warmer and earthier than a clear scarlet, giving the colourway a deep, settled character while the lighter motifs catch the eye. With a 137 cm usable width, a 52.5 cm vertical repeat and a 23 cm horizontal repeat, the design has enough scale to remain legible across upholstery or curtains. The 230 gsm weight gives it a versatile mid-weight presence for either application.

How to use it

Use this warm red-clay colourway on an occasional chair, bench or full-length curtains where its ochre and olive motifs can sit alongside walnut, antique brass and aged neutrals. Keep surrounding fabrics quieter so the bird-and-flower bands remain the focal point.

Pair the warm red-clay ground with aged timber, ochre accents and muted olive upholstery or trim.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bird & Anemone Red Clay 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.
