About this fabric

This colourway reads as a muted pale red with pink undertones, softened further by the visible viscose-linen weave. The plain construction has no repeat, making it a clean option for tailored schemes where the cloth itself provides interest rather than pattern. At approximately 143cm wide and composed of 82% viscose and 18% linen, it has a smooth yet lightly nubbly handle that suggests versatility for both upholstery and drapery. The finish feels calm and unfussy, with the colour sitting in a warm, dusty register rather than a bright or fiery red. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this soft pale red to bring warmth to neutral upholstery, or pair it with oatmeal, stone and aged wood for a relaxed, layered room. It also works well in curtains where the subdued red tone can glow gently in daylight.

A warm, muted pink-red that adds gentle colour without feeling loud.

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.
