Bamburgh Red

Misc Fabric

Bamburgh Red is a rich tartan-style check in deep red, lifted by fine pale lines and darker grid intersections. The woven surface gives it a classic, slightly rustic character that feels strong and grounded.

About this fabric

This Porter & Stone fabric is composed of 78% polyester and 22% cotton, with a 140cm width and a 9cm pattern repeat. The colourway shows a deep, wine-red ground with soft crimson variation, crossed by slim pale stripes and darker overchecks that sharpen the tartan effect. It reads warm rather than bright, with a dense, even finish that keeps the pattern looking neat and tailored. The check is bold enough to bring structure to a room, while the cotton blend stops the red from feeling too glossy or hard. Care code BQV1< is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this red check with dark timber, saddle leather, and cream-painted walls for a traditional look. It also works well on statement cushions or a snug armchair where the warm red can anchor the scheme.

Use for tailored upholstery or curtains when you want a warm, country-house check with a crisp woven outline.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bamburgh Red without fighting it. 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.
