Arlette Red shows a finely scaled geometric weave in a warm terracotta-leaning red, with the pattern reading as a subtle all-over texture rather than a bold contrast. The tiny diamond-lattice effect gives the surface a tailored, softly rhythmic look.

About this fabric

Woven in a blend of 36% Linen, 30% Viscose, 22% Cotton and 12% Polyester, this fabric has a dry, lightly textural handle that suits both upholstery and drapery. The repeat is small at approximately V 2cm / H 1cm, which keeps the pattern crisp and controlled across the width of about 144cm. In this colourway the red is softened with earthy brown and brick undertones, so it feels warmer and more muted than a bright scarlet. The fine lattice catches the light gently, adding depth without losing the calm, even field of colour. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Arlette Red to bring warmth to a chair, ottoman or roman blind where the compact pattern can be appreciated up close. Its muted terracotta tone pairs well with oak, walnut, parchment and other softly neutral finishes.

A warm, restrained red that gives pattern without overpowering a room.

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