Spectrum Crimson

Spectrum FabricCCF0227-07

Spectrum Crimson is a deep, wine-toned red with a softly textured surface that shifts gently between burgundy and crimson across the swatch. Its restrained weave keeps the saturated colour looking refined rather than glossy or theatrical.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a nearly plain fabric enlivened by a fine, lightly rippled weave, with no bold motif visible at this scale. Weighing 271gsm and measuring 137cm usable width, it has the substance to work across both upholstery and drapery applications. The design is supplied with a 36.5cm vertical repeat and 34.5cm horizontal repeat, even though the repeat remains understated in this colourway. A standard length of 40m supports larger coordinated schemes in this rich crimson shade.

How to use it

Use Spectrum Crimson on a reading chair or upholstered bench to introduce a concentrated burgundy-red accent, or let it fall as curtains against warm neutrals for a deeper, more enveloping room scheme.

The deep crimson tone brings saturated warmth to upholstery, cushions and full-length curtains, while the fine texture adds quiet depth.

Pairs well with

Spectrum Crimson 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.
