Clarence Red
Sandford FabricF4898-04
Clarence Red shows a warm beige ground scattered with tiny red motifs that give the fabric a softly patterned, almost peppered surface. The overall effect is understated at first glance, then richer as the repeated vertical movement comes into view.

About this fabric
This colourway in the Sandford collection reads as a muted warm red, with the pattern sitting clearly against a pale beige background rather than appearing heavily saturated. The small-scale repeat, measured at approximately V 16cm / H 22cm, creates a steady vertical rhythm that feels tailored and decorative without becoming busy. Woven in 86% Cotton and 14% Polyester, it has the practical balance of a fabric suitable for upholstery or drapery use, depending on the project. The 136cm approximate width makes it straightforward for curtains, cushions, and smaller upholstered pieces, while the √BH fire code adds a useful specification note for contract-minded schemes.
How to use it
Use Clarence Red where you want a touch of colour that still feels composed, such as loose covers, ottomans, or lined curtains. Its beige ground and restrained red detail pair especially well with oak, aged brass, and softer neutral paintwork.
A compact small-scale pattern that adds warmth without overpowering a room.

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