About this fabric

This colourway has a rich ruby-red base that reads warm rather than blue, with tiny cream and blush motifs scattered tightly across the surface. The repeat is approximately V 35cm / H 23cm, giving the design a lively but orderly rhythm, and the pattern stays readable without feeling oversized on the 138cm-wide cloth. Its 84% viscose and 16% polyester composition suggests a soft handle with a subtle lustre, which suits the way the pale pattern catches against the deeper red ground. The result is a smart, decorative fabric that feels vivid and textured, with enough depth to hold its own in a room scheme. Care code Q 8 < T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for reference.

How to use it

This red works well where you want warmth and pattern without a heavy darkening effect, especially on a statement chair, blind or occasional headboard. Pair it with pared-back neutrals, dark timber or softened greens to let the ruby ground stay front and centre.

Use with walnut, plaster pink or deep green for a rich, tailored look.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cleo 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.
