Carlotta Red shows a small geometric repeat in a warm coral-red palette, lifted by pale ground tones that keep the pattern feeling light. The surface has a crisp woven look rather than a plush finish.

About this fabric

This Medora colourway has a finely scaled diamond and chevron motif that reads as orderly and decorative without feeling heavy. The red is softened into a coral, terracotta-leaning shade, with beige and blush threads lightening the ground and giving the cloth a slightly sun-warmed look. At approximately 138cm wide with a repeat of V 5cm / H 4cm approx, it is made for neat pattern placement across seating or window treatments. The composition of 54% Viscose, 22% Polyester, 15% Linen and 9% Cotton suggests a fabric with a tactile, cloth-like handle and enough body for practical interior use.

How to use it

Pair this shade with natural oak, warm white walls and plain linen to let the small-scale pattern do the work. It also sits well with rust, clay and muted green accents for a layered, collected scheme.

Use this warm coral red to add lively colour without overpowering a room.

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