Dreamy FR Ruby

Dreamy FR Fabric

Dreamy FR Ruby is a plush, all-over ruby shade with a soft, velvety-looking surface that catches the light in darker and brighter red tones. The finish reads rich and slightly shadowed, giving the colour real depth without any pattern distraction.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a saturated ruby red with near-black shading in the pile, so the surface feels moody and luxurious rather than bright. The texture looks softly brushed and dense, which helps the colour shift subtly as the light moves across it. It is a 100% polyester fabric with a 140cm width and no pattern repeat, making it straightforward to match and cut for larger pieces. The NQT1< care instruction should be followed to keep the finish looking even and full.

How to use it

The deep red tone works well on statement upholstery, especially when paired with walnut, brass, or matte black details. It also brings a dramatic, jewel-box feel to curtains where the darker pile can read especially plush in low light.

Use with warm neutrals or dark timber for a rich, cocooning finish.

Pairs well with

Dreamy FR Ruby 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.
