Flying Ducks Red/Blue

Flying ducks sweep across a deep slate-blue ground, surrounded by layered blue-green foliage and curling cream leaves. Coral-red wings and tails add a vivid, warm accent to the otherwise cool, weathered palette.

About this fabric

This 100% linen design combines cream-bodied ducks, coral-red plumage and dark branching forms with densely arranged blue-green leaves. The blue ground reads deep and slightly softened, allowing the red details to stand out without overwhelming the botanical scene. At 137 cm wide, the fabric has a 62 cm vertical pattern repeat and a 137 cm horizontal repeat, giving the repeated flying-bird arrangement a clear, generous rhythm. It is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads; after-care is professional dry cleaning only, with no washing or ironing.

How to use it

Pair this cool slate-blue colourway with warm oak, aged timber and muted cream upholstery, using the coral-red details as restrained accents in cushions or painted furniture. Its 62 cm repeat makes it suitable for statement curtains as well as characterful loose or fixed upholstery.

Use the cool blue ground and red accents to bring character to upholstery, curtains or a coordinating bedspread.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Flying Ducks Red/Blue 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.
