About this fabric

This colourway reads as a warm, muted pink-red, with the paler threads lifting the surface so the shade feels lively without becoming bright or brash. The weave is closely worked and clearly structured, which suits the fabric’s 139cm approx width and makes the pattern feel crisp at close range. With a composition of 36% viscose, 30% cotton, 28% linen and 6% polyester, it has a balanced, upholstery-friendly handle that should also drape neatly in softer applications. The repeat is very small at approx. V 1cm / H 1cm, so the design sits quietly in the background and won’t overwhelm larger pieces of furniture or window dressings. The √CH fire code is noted.

How to use it

Use Erith Red to add a smart hit of colour to armchairs, cushions or a tailored headboard, where the small weave can read as texture rather than pattern. It pairs especially well with oak, chalky neutrals and deep green accents that let the muted red tone stay refined.

A compact woven red that feels tailored and easy to layer with natural linens or deeper jewel tones.

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.
