Highlander Ruby

Highlander Ruby is a deep, saturated red textile with a quietly textured woven surface. The close-up shows subtle tonal movement across the cloth rather than a printed motif, giving the colour depth without pattern.

About this fabric

The rich ruby tone reads warm and concentrated, with darker red shading appearing between the fine woven threads as the surface catches the light. Its plain construction has a softly textured, cloth-like appearance and no vertical or horizontal pattern repeat. At 290 gsm and 140 cm usable width, it offers a versatile mid-weight option for upholstery and drapery. The supplied standard length is 40 metres, making it practical for larger coordinated schemes.

How to use it

Use Highlander Ruby as a strong colour anchor on an occasional chair, sofa cushions or simple curtains, balancing its saturated warmth with cream, charcoal or dark timber accents.

Use this deep ruby red cloth to bring concentrated colour to upholstered seating, cushions or full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

Highlander Ruby 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.
