About this fabric

The pattern combines large flame-like red forms with curling ochre details and a central blue-black floral motif edged in cream. Its tightly gridded woven surface gives the colours a softly broken, tactile appearance rather than a completely flat print. The deep red reads warm and saturated, while the cream highlights and ochre accents add contrast and visual depth. No composition, width or rub-test information is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Sokoto Red on a statement armchair, occasional chair or upholstered footstool where its warm brick-red ground can anchor a room. Pair it with dark timber, aged brass and quieter cream textiles to let the blue-black and ochre pattern details stand out.

Use this richly patterned red textile to give an upholstered chair or footstool a warm, graphic focal point.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Sokoto Red Fabric 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.
