Carnforth Red
Tarn FabricF4799-03
Carnforth Red shows a warm coral-red ground lifted by pale, slubby vertical striations that give the surface a softened, handwoven look. The effect is lively rather than dark, with the lighter threads breaking up the colour and adding movement across the cloth.

About this fabric
This fabric is composed of 41% viscose, 40% linen, 11% cotton, 5% acrylic and 3% polyester, and it has a width of approximately 139cm with a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm. In this colourway, the red reads as a bright coral with pink warmth rather than a deep brick tone, and the pale yarns create a dry, textured stripe that softens the overall finish. The weave appears open and tactile, with the linen content contributing to the visible slub and the viscose adding a gentle sheen in the lighter threads. Its balanced handle and decorative stripe make it suitable for both upholstery and drapery use where a fresh, characterful red is wanted.
How to use it
Use Carnforth Red on an armchair, occasional sofa or Roman blind where its coral tone can lift neutral walls. It pairs particularly well with oak, chalky whites and muted plaster pinks.
A lively coral-red weave that adds warmth without feeling heavy.

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