Tigre Red

Pelham FabricF4861-02

Tigre Red pairs a warm brick-red motif with a pale, earthy ground, giving the design a lively but grounded feel. The small, repeated chevron-like marks create a crisp, rhythmic surface with a distinctly textural look.

About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric is from the Pelham collection and is woven in 82% viscose and 18% polyester, with a width of approximately 142cm and a repeat of V 32cm / H 18cm approx. The surface reads as a light ground threaded with compact, red leaf-like marks, so the pattern feels directional and animated rather than bold. In Tigre Red, the colour is a warm, earthy red with a slightly berry-toned depth that sits comfortably against the softer background. The overall effect is smart and decorative, with enough visual movement to carry across upholstery or drapery on a smaller scale.

How to use it

Use Tigre Red where you want pattern and warmth together, such as an accent chair, ottoman, or lined curtains in a room with timber and neutral paintwork. Its brick-red tone works especially well beside cream, taupe, and aged brass, where the motif can read clearly without feeling harsh.

A lively small-scale red pattern that brings warmth without overwhelming a room.

Pairs well with

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