About this fabric

This Shelley colourway has a tightly woven, gently irregular texture that softens the intensity of the red and keeps it looking rich rather than flat. The composition is 64% polyester, 32% viscose and 4% cotton, which suits the practical, softly tactile feel visible in the swatch. At approximately 138cm wide, it is a versatile fabric for upholstery projects where a strong colour is wanted without a glossy finish. The repeat is shown as V 0cm / H 0cm approx, so the surface reads as a plain-textured cloth rather than a patterned design.

How to use it

Use this poppy red on a compact armchair, ottoman or dining chair to create a confident focal point. It also works well with warm neutrals, pale timber and brass accents, where the colour’s brightness can stay centre stage.

A lively red weave that adds energy and polish to tailored seating or statement cushions.

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.
