About this fabric

The swatch is a warm brick-red shade, close to the colour of scorched clay rather than a bright or cool red. Its surface has a fine, irregular mottling that adds quiet depth without forming a visible motif. The face appears matte and densely formed, making it suited to upholstery applications. No composition, width or rub-test specification is supplied for this fabric, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use this warm scorched red to bring depth to an upholstered chair, headboard or sofa, particularly alongside natural timber, aged brass and sandy neutrals. Its muted tone works well where a rich red is wanted without a glossy or highly saturated effect.

A warm, earthy red with subtle tonal movement and a softly textured, matte finish.

Pairs well with

Alpha Scorched Earth is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
