Carrera Rhubarb

Leon Fabric

Carrera Rhubarb is a deep, berry-leaning red with a quietly textured surface and a restrained, even finish. The close-up weave gives the colour a soft depth rather than a flat block of red.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, Carrera Rhubarb has the natural touch and slightly dry handle you would expect from a fabric of this kind, with a 140cm width and no pattern repeat. The swatch shows a saturated rhubarb red that sits between wine and claret, with darker undertones that soften the overall effect. Its fine weave is visible across the surface, giving the colour a subtle linear texture and helping the shade read as rich rather than glossy. This makes it a strong choice when you want colour with presence but without the shine of velvet or the busyness of a print.

How to use it

Use this shade on an accent chair, banquette or tailored cushions where the warm red can anchor the room. It pairs well with oak, brass and muted neutrals, which keep the colour feeling elegant rather than overpowering.

A rich rhubarb tone that brings warmth and depth to tailored seating.

Pairs well with

Carrera Rhubarb 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.
