Clarence Soft Red

Essential Colour III - Colour FabricBF11185.456

Clarence Soft Red appears as a muted, warm red with a gentle terracotta cast. The close-up reveals a very fine, even woven texture, giving the colour quiet depth rather than a flat printed surface.

About this fabric

This fabric combines 44% cotton, 38% viscose, 10% linen and 8% polyester in a close, finely textured weave. At 140 cm (55") wide, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. The 27,000 Martindale rub test makes it a practical choice for upholstery, while the soft red tone retains a composed, tailored character. Care is professional dry cleaning only: do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use this warm, terracotta-leaning red on a reading chair, upholstered headboard or relaxed curtain to add depth without a bright, saturated effect. Its fine micro-weave also suits coordinated bedspreads and upholstered pieces where a subtle surface texture is wanted.

A warm, finely textured red for tailored seating, curtains and layered bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Clarence Soft 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.
