Upholstery fabrics Fabric009

Chapeau Paprika is a deep, warm rust-red upholstery fabric with a close, softly mottled surface. Its paprika tone reads earthy and saturated, while the fine texture prevents the colour from appearing flat.

About this fabric

The swatch shows an even plain weave with a compact, nubby texture that creates subtle tonal variation across the paprika-red ground. Its dense visual character is suited to upholstery, particularly where a solid colour needs tactile depth rather than a printed motif. The shade moves between burnt red and terracotta as the surface catches the light, giving it a warm, enveloping presence. No performance features are listed for this fabric, so its colour and texture are the defining considerations.

How to use it

Pair this deep paprika upholstery with warm timber, aged brass and creamy neutrals to build a grounded room scheme. It also brings a rich, earthy accent to a pale contemporary interior without introducing a pattern.

Use this warm rust shade to give upholstered seating a grounded, quietly tactile presence.

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.
