About this fabric

This plain fabric from Fryett's Fabrics' Forte FR collection is shown in a strong red that leans toward raspberry pink rather than brick or burgundy. The surface appears smooth and close-woven, with a restrained matte finish that keeps the colour looking clean and consistent across the swatch. As no further specification data was supplied, this page reflects the visible appearance only, and the cloth is classified here for upholstery use based on its substantial, stable-looking body. The tone is confident and modern, making it a useful choice where a clear red statement is wanted without pattern distraction.

How to use it

Use this shade on a single accent chair, banquette, or ottoman to bring sharp colour into a neutral scheme. It also works well against warm woods and dark painted trim, where the bright red can hold its own.

Use this vivid red when you want a clean, high-impact finish with a smooth, tailored look.

Pairs well with

Forte FR 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.
