About this fabric

The surface appears finely woven, with close horizontal lines and understated tonal slubbing rather than a printed motif. Its paprika red is earthy and burnished, warmer than a true crimson and softened by darker threads that prevent the colour from looking flat. The visible texture gives the cloth a relaxed, tactile character and a gentle light-catching variation. No composition, width, rub test or performance features were supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this warm paprika shade with tobacco leather, aged timber and muted creams for an earthy scheme, or use it against charcoal and deep brown for a more enveloping room. Its restrained woven texture can work across seating, cushions and curtains without introducing a competing pattern.

Use this warm paprika tone to bring earthy depth to upholstered seating, cushions or softly gathered curtains.

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.
