About this fabric

Twill Claret is a rich claret red, with a wine-like depth that reads particularly dark where the weave falls into shadow. Fine diagonal ribs run consistently across the surface, creating a restrained texture rather than a flat plain finish. Catalogued as a fabric from Isle Mill’s Twills collection, its compact woven appearance makes it a strong upholstery choice for seating in a deep, tailored red.

How to use it

Use this dark claret colourway on an occasional chair, sofa or headboard, balancing its saturated red tone with oatmeal, tobacco or charcoal textiles. Dark timber and aged brass will reinforce its warm, sophisticated depth.

Pair this deep claret twill with warm neutrals, dark timber and aged brass for a rich, tailored interior.

Twill Claret 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.
