CALI Ruby

CALI Ruby shows a neat all-over grid of tiny rectangular motifs, giving the fabric a crisp, ordered look. The ruby ground reads warm and lively, with the small-scale pattern softening its intensity.

About this fabric

This colourway in the Nalina collection pairs 67% polyester with 33% polypropylene, giving it a practical woven handle and a 20,000 Martindale rating for General Domestic upholstery use. The usable width is 142cm, and the design repeats every 2cm horizontally and vertically, creating the tight, even checker-like rhythm visible in the swatch. CALI Ruby has a warm red base with slightly softened pink-red highlights, so the pattern feels rich rather than harsh. It is treatable for FR drapery and upholstery, making it suitable for both soft furnishings and seating projects where a patterned red is wanted.

How to use it

Use this ruby tone to bring warmth to neutral upholstery, or pair it with deep wood finishes and muted taupes for a smarter scheme. The small-scale geometric repeat also works well on accent chairs, cushions, or tailored drapery where you want texture without a large motif.

A compact ruby weave that adds crisp colour and texture without overpowering a room.

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