About this fabric
The colour sits at the dark end of the red spectrum, with a wine-like claret tone that gains a faint red lift where the light catches the surface. The weave appears plain and closely formed, while subtle tonal shifts across the swatch suggest a gently directional finish. No composition, width, rub test or performance features have been supplied for this colourway, so those details should be confirmed before ordering.
How to use it
Use this deep claret on a statement chair, sofa or footstool where its near-black depth can anchor a room. Balance the saturated red with aged timber, smoked metal, parchment tones or warm neutral walls.
The almost-black claret tone brings quiet depth to upholstered seating and pairs well with warm timber or dark accents.

Smooth 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.
