Name: Forte FR Mulberry
Brand: Fryett's Fabrics

Forte FR Mulberry reads as a deep, enveloping red with a soft mulberry cast. The plain surface gives the colour a calm, even appearance with subtle tonal movement in the weave.

About this fabric

This Forte FR colourway shows a smooth, plain fabric in a saturated mulberry red, leaning warm rather than blue. The finish looks matte and closely woven, so the shade appears rich and solid across the surface rather than busy or reflective. With no further specification data supplied, the page is based on the visible cloth only, which suggests a versatile textile suited to upholstery where a deep colour is wanted. The tone has a refined, slightly moody quality that would sit well in more tailored schemes.

How to use it

Use this mulberry shade on a compact armchair, banquette or headboard to bring depth without relying on pattern. It also pairs neatly with brass, walnut and muted pinks for a layered, luxurious room.

A rich mulberry tone that adds depth and warmth to tailored seating or dramatic drapery schemes.

Pairs well with

Forte FR Mulberry 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.
