Kelsea Red shows a tightly worked herringbone stripe in a warm terracotta-red palette, softened by lighter linen-toned threads. The effect is tailored and textural, with enough movement to keep the surface from reading flat.

About this fabric

Kelsea Red from Colefax and Fowler is a fabric with a small, regular zigzag weave and a clearly visible herringbone rhythm across the cloth. The 51% linen, 32% viscose, 9% cotton and 8% polyester composition helps give it a slightly dry, woven handle with a softer lustre in the lighter threads. At approximately 147cm wide, it is a practical mid-width for both upholstery and curtains, while the vertical repeat is 0cm and the horizontal repeat is approximately 3cm, so the pattern runs as a neat, continuous stripe. The colourway itself reads as a muted terracotta red with brown undertones, giving it warmth without becoming overly bright or glossy. Care code Q 8 < T 3 and fire code √CH are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Kelsea Red on a chair, ottoman or bench where the fine herringbone can add structure without overpowering the room. Its earthy red tone works especially well with oak, aged brass and neutral linens.

A warm terracotta herringbone that adds tailored character to upholstery or 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.
