Print Fabric
Plaisirs d'Eté 13 places finely drawn pastoral scenes, figures and foliage across a rich crimson-red ground. The pale, almost parchment-coloured illustrations create a striking contrast against the saturated background.

About this fabric
This colourway has a smooth-looking printed surface, with large floating vignettes that include elegant figures, urns, trees and garden landscapes. The contrast between the deep crimson ground and the softly aged cream-and-grey artwork gives the design a theatrical, formal mood rather than a bright country feel. Its open areas of red allow each detailed scene to read clearly when the fabric is viewed across a wider curtain. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its detailed printed character is best appreciated in decorative drapery applications.
How to use it
Use the deep crimson ground for full-height curtains in a study, dining room or bedroom, pairing it with warm ivory, aged grey and dark wood to echo the antique-looking illustrations. Keep surrounding upholstery relatively plain so the pastoral panels remain the room’s visual focus.
Use this dramatic crimson toile for full-length curtains or relaxed Roman blinds, balancing its detailed pastoral scenes with quiet furnishings.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Plaisirs d'Eté 13 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.
