Noah Red

Hudson FabricJ0279-05

Noah Red has a quietly textured, herringbone-like surface in a softened red that reads more dusty terracotta than bright primary. The close weave gives the colour a speckled, lived-in quality across the whole swatch.

About this fabric

Woven in 58% cotton, 32% polyester and 10% linen, this fabric has a practical, handleable feel with a subtle natural slub visible in the cloth. The repeat is a neat V 0cm / H 2cm approx, creating a fine chevron effect that stays understated rather than bold. At 136cm approx wide, Noah Red is a versatile width for both upholstery and drapery projects. The red tone is mellowed by pale ground threads, so it feels warm, earthy and slightly faded rather than vivid or glossy.

How to use it

Use this soft red alongside oak, aged brass and oatmeal linens for a scheme that feels relaxed but polished. It would suit an armchair, banquette or roman blind where the small-scale texture can add colour without overpowering the room.

A warm, lived-in red that softens the herringbone weave and works beautifully on tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

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