Calling all curtain fabric guru's: need fabric with red and green print not xmassy but light and airy.

Can anyone help my Mum: she is looking for a curtain fabric for some long curtains to go across a hallway front door. The front door has a stained glass design with dark green leaves and red flowers. So we thought that something to match this would be good. But she wants fresh and spring like, with a neutral background, but all the green/red stuff is warm and Christmassy, or too chintzy. She likes retro patterns, and graphic prints, or seedhead inspired patterns. It needs to be relatively unfussy and not stuffy.
Can you help? Anyone bought or seen something lovely?

anything here?

There are a couple of the Prestigious collections which are quite graphic/retro, it's worth searching through. Also Clarke and Clarke have some less-chintzy designs if you hunt.

Also the Prestigious Babushka and Portobello collections have reds/greens?

Marimekko fabrics could work. This one or this one perhaps, or this

Some of the less fussy crewel work fabrics are nice.

Ooo, thanks all. I have shown my mum this thread and we are inspired. There are a few shops near which stock some of the ones mentioned above, so we'll be off to look at samples. Thanks again, I knew Mumsnet would help!
