Kemble Tomato brings Medora’s compact, all-over pattern to life in a vivid tomato red with a slightly softer, textile-rich finish. The design reads close and intricate, with the lighter ground breaking through the motif to give the swatch plenty of movement.

About this fabric

This fabric is composed of 63% viscose, 21% acrylic and 16% cotton, giving the surface a softly tactile handle and a refined lustre rather than a flat matte look. The repeat is approximately V 24cm by H 18cm, and the small-scale pattern creates a dense, animated field across the cloth. In this tomato colourway, the red is bright but grounded, with a warm depth that makes the motif feel energetic without becoming harsh. At approximately 140cm wide, it is well suited to tailored interior schemes where pattern and colour need to stay in balance.

How to use it

Pair this tomato red with oatmeal, ivory or deep walnut to let the pattern stay sharp and architectural. It also works well alongside brass accents and other warm reds for a layered, confident room scheme.

Use with warm neutrals and dark timber for a crisp, tailored look.

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