Crush Ii Paprika

Name: Crush Ii Paprika
Brand: Kirkby Design

Crush Ii Paprika is a deeply shaded paprika red, with the swatch moving between dark oxblood depth and warmer red-brown glints. The close surface has a subdued directional lustre that keeps the plain field from looking flat.

About this fabric

No performance features or further specification data are noted for this fabric. In the swatch, a deep paprika red reads close to oxblood in the shadows, while a faint directional sheen lifts the surface into warmer red-brown highlights. Its dense, softly pile-like appearance gives the colourway a plush, upholstery-led presence rather than a lightweight, fluid look.

How to use it

Use this warm, dark red on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard, where its oxblood depth can bring drama without becoming bright. Pair it with aged timber, smoked glass and muted neutral walls to draw out the subtle red-brown warmth.

A deep paprika red with plush-looking depth and restrained lustre for statement upholstery.

Crush Ii Paprika 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.
