Kensington Red

About this fabric
This Kensington Red colourway from the Brodsworth collection by Fryett's Fabrics is made from 100% polyester and comes in a 140cm width, with no pattern repeat. The fabric reads as a deep crimson with a slightly shaded finish, so the tone feels intense rather than bright. Fine horizontal striations in the weave soften the surface and give the red a rich, cloth-like movement as the light catches it. With no performance features noted, it suits decorative upholstery pieces where the colour is meant to do the work.
How to use it
Use this shade on accent chairs, ottomans or headboards where a strong red can anchor the room without looking glossy or theatrical. It pairs especially well with dark woods, brass details and muted neutrals that let the crimson depth stand out.
Rich and dramatic, ideal for adding warmth and depth to a tailored room.

Pairs well with
Kensington Red is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
