Cotley Red

This Bampton fabric has a fine, even plain weave that reads as softly granular rather than flat, which suits both upholstery and drapery uses. The colour sits between brick red, terracotta and faded rosewood, so it feels grounded and understated rather than vivid. With a width of approximately 139cm and a composition of 61% viscose, 19% cotton, 11% linen and 9% polyester, it has the balanced handle and subtle softness expected of a versatile furnishing cloth. The repeat is stated as vertical 0cm and horizontal 0cm approximately, confirming the design as a plain surface with no directional motif to interrupt the colour. The result is a smart, adaptable red that brings warmth without overpowering a room.

Use Cotley Red on a sofa, slipper chair or loose cover if you want a colour with depth but no pattern. It also works well at the window, where the dusty terracotta tone will soften daylight and sit comfortably with oak, limestone and aged brass.
