About this fabric
This colourway has a muted, earthy red that reads closer to brick and terracotta than a bright scarlet, so the pattern feels grounded rather than flashy. The small animal spots sit densely across the surface, giving the design a lively all-over rhythm without large contrast. Woven in 44% viscose, 36% linen, 16% polyester, 3% cotton and 1% polyacrylic, it has the kind of textile body that suits upholstery well, with a 145cm width and a repeat of V 36cm / H 35cm approx. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code are useful practical details for specification-led interiors.
How to use it
Use it on an accent chair, ottoman or occasional bench where the warm red tone can lift timber, leather and neutral paintwork. It also works well with oatmeal, taupe and antique brass, which keep the pattern looking polished rather than loud.
A compact leopard-style pattern in warm brick red on a sandy ground gives seating a tailored, lively edge.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Chester Red without fighting it. 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.
