About this fabric

The design is made up of closely spaced branching forms, with the irregular silhouettes creating a coral-like all-over motif across the swatch. In this colourway, the red reads warm and saturated against the soft ivory background, so the pattern feels energetic rather than muted. The pale ground remains visible between the branches, adding definition and preventing the dense design from becoming visually heavy. No composition, width, usage or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Alga Red to bring a warm red accent to a pale, neutral room, particularly on a statement chair, occasional upholstery or patterned curtains. Pair it with ivory, chalky beige and restrained natural timber so the branching motif remains the focal point.

The deep coral-red branching motif brings lively pattern to upholstery, cushions or curtains while the pale ground keeps the overall effect light.

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