About this fabric

This Hamlin fabric from Colefax and Fowler is a textile with a 143cm approx width and a close repeat of V 0cm / H 1cm approx, which keeps the small-scale herringbone movement neat and steady across the surface. The composition—25% Linen, 22% Cotton, 21% Viscose, 16% Polyester, 11% Wool, 5% Polyamide—helps explain the fabric’s balanced, slightly dry handle and the subtle mottled depth visible in the weave. Tristram Red reads as a muted terracotta with brick and rose undertones, so the colour feels warm and grounded rather than glossy or vivid. The overall effect is a smart, quietly textured cloth that can work on seating or window treatments where a restrained pattern and a settled red tone are wanted.

How to use it

Use Tristram Red to bring warmth to a sofa, dining chair, or tailored curtains without overwhelming a room. Its earthy red tone sits well with oak, aged brass, chalky neutrals, and deeper tobacco or olive accents.

A warm terracotta-red herringbone with enough body for upholstery and a tailored drape for curtains.

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.
