About this fabric

Woven in 67% polyester and 33% polypropylene, this Nalina colourway has a practical general domestic upholstery grade and a usable width of 142cm. The 2cm by 2cm repeat keeps the ruby motif compact and regular, so the design reads as a fine-scale grid rather than a bold statement print. Its 20,000 Martindale rating and treatable FR suitability for drapery and upholstery make it a versatile fabric for everyday interiors. Visually, the red is clear and насыщенный rather than dark, sitting warmly against the light background for a smart, spirited finish.

How to use it

Use this ruby colourway on an accent chair, cushions or a fitted blind where the small geometric repeat can add movement without overwhelming the room. It pairs well with pale neutrals, warm timber and deeper red accents for a polished, tailored scheme.

A vivid ruby check that brings crisp contrast and lively warmth to tailored interiors.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside CALI Ruby 2 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.
