About this fabric

This colourway reads as a rich chilli red, carrying earthy warmth and noticeable depth across the plain surface. The close-up shows a fine, suede-like grain with gentle tonal shifts where the nap catches the light. There is no visible motif or pattern, allowing the saturated colour and soft texture to take focus. No composition, width, rub test or performance features have been supplied for this exact fabric, so those details should be confirmed before ordering for a particular application.

How to use it

Pair the warm chilli-red tone with walnut, dark stained timber or aged brass for a dramatic, enveloping scheme. It also makes a confident accent on a chair, footstool or upholstered headboard against quieter neutral surroundings.

Use this warm chilli red to bring rich, tactile colour to upholstered seating and accent pieces.

Pairs well with

Dakota Suede Ii Chilli 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.
