About this fabric

The design appears almost plain, with delicate tonal variation rather than a visible motif or repeat. Its softly brushed, velvet-like texture catches the light unevenly, creating darker and lighter patches across the saturated red ground. The overall effect is rich and enveloping, with the burgundy depth keeping the ruby colour feeling refined rather than bright.

How to use it

Use Faze Ruby on a statement chair, sofa or ottoman where its deep ruby tone can act as a dramatic focal point. Pair it with warm timber, antique brass and muted neutral upholstery to balance its saturated colour.

A rich ruby-red upholstery choice for adding depth and drama to a room.

Pairs well with

Faze Ruby 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.
