Fitzroy Soft Red

Essential Colour III - Colour FabricBF11186.456

Fitzroy Soft Red has a gentle coral-red tone with a dusty, softened quality rather than a bright primary red. Close up, the surface reveals a very fine diagonal weave that gives the plain colour quiet movement.

About this fabric

Woven from 48% viscose, 29% cotton, 15% linen and 8% polyester, this 140 cm (55") fabric combines a soft-looking surface with a 27,000 Martindale rub test. Its subtle diagonal texture catches the light lightly across the muted red ground, creating depth without a distinct printed motif. The 7 cm (2.75") horizontal pattern repeat is discreet and easy to accommodate. Fitzroy Soft Red is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads, with professional dry cleaning required.

How to use it

Use this softened coral-red on a tailored armchair, occasional upholstery or full-length curtains where its warm, dusty tone can bring colour without overwhelming the room. It works particularly well alongside natural linen, warm timber and quiet neutral upholstery.

A softly textured coral-red weave with enough durability for upholstery and a composed drapery finish.

Pairs well with

Fitzroy 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.
