About this fabric

The 518gsm cloth has a dense, softly napped appearance, with the light catching unevenly across the surface to create darker burgundy shadows and brighter claret highlights. It is a plain fabric with no pattern repeat, allowing the depth of the red tone and its tactile texture to take centre stage. With a 140cm usable width and a 25m standard length, it is well suited to substantial upholstery projects. The saturated colour gives seating a dramatic, enveloping finish rather than a bright or playful red accent.

How to use it

Use Allure Claret on a statement armchair, sofa or ottoman where its deep wine-red tone can anchor softer neutrals, dark timber and aged metallic accents. Pair it with warm cream or smoky taupe to temper the richness while keeping the tactile surface prominent.

A deep claret upholstery choice that brings rich colour and softly reflective texture to statement seating.

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.
