Tay Red

Tay Red is a richly textured woven cloth with a warm terracotta-red ground and subtle lighter flecks running through the surface. The finish feels softly rustic rather than bright or glossy, giving the colourway a grounded, lived-in look.

About this fabric

This fabric has a distinctly textural plain weave, with horizontal striations and small slubs that catch the light across the surface. The 55% viscose, 26% cotton and 19% polyester composition gives it a refined woven handle, while the 139cm approximate width makes it practical for a range of interior applications. With no repeat noted, the design reads as an all-over texture rather than a pattern, and the warm red tone is tempered by earthy beige and coral notes. The overall effect is inviting and slightly worn-in, with enough depth to avoid feeling flat.

How to use it

Use Tay Red on an upholstered armchair, banquette or headboard where its warm red-orange depth can bring colour without feeling overly bold. It also pairs well with natural wood, ivory and aged brass for a comfortable, tailored look.

A warm terracotta weave that softens beautifully against oak, linen and muted neutrals.

Pairs well with

Tay Red 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.
