About this fabric

Woven in 65% linen and 35% cotton, Marco has the natural handle and slightly slubbed character you would expect from a fibre-led upholstery and drapery fabric. This Paprika colourway sits between brick red and burnt terracotta, giving it a sun-warmed depth rather than a bright orange-red finish. The surface shows a quiet vertical grain and a soft matte look, which helps the colour feel layered and tactile. With an approximate width of 136cm and a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx, it is straightforward to plan and pattern-match for larger schemes. Care code Q 8 + W 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this paprika shade to add warmth to oak, walnut, or painted neutrals, where its earthy red tone can anchor the room without feeling loud. It works especially well on tailored chairs, bench cushions, or relaxed curtains where the subtle texture can be appreciated.

A warm paprika tone that brings depth and character to tailored seating or relaxed 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.
