About this fabric

This 100% cotton fabric combines broad red bands with narrow cream and red pinstripes, creating a lively ticking effect with clear vertical direction. The red reads warm and vivid rather than muted, giving the colourway strong presence while the cream lines provide contrast and definition. At 137 cm wide, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. A 25,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on seating, and the horizontal pattern repeat is 10 cm.

How to use it

Use the warm red stripe to sharpen a relaxed country chair, upholstered headboard or window treatment, pairing it with natural timber, painted furniture and cream upholstery for balanced contrast. Its vertical lines can also add height and structure to curtains or a bedspread.

A crisp red-and-cream ticking stripe with enough durability for upholstery and the versatility of a cotton curtain or bedspread.

Pairs well with

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