Elgar Fuchsia is a vivid, saturated magenta-fuchsia plain with a close, softly mottled surface. The colour reads deep and richly pigmented across the swatch, rather than flat or pastel.

About this fabric

The dense surface has a fine, wool-like visual texture, with tiny tonal shifts that soften the intensity of the fuchsia. Subtle darker and lighter flecks move across the plain ground, giving the colour depth without introducing a visible motif. Its substantial-looking weave makes it especially suited to upholstery, where the saturated pink-red tone can act as a confident focal colour.

How to use it

Use Elgar Fuchsia on a statement armchair, ottoman or sofa to introduce concentrated magenta warmth, then balance it with quiet neutrals and tactile natural textures. Its plain surface allows the strong colour to carry the design without competing with patterned cushions or artwork.

Pairs well with

Elgar Fuchsia 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.
