Smooth Tomato

Name: Smooth Tomato
Brand: Kirkby Design

Smooth Tomato presents a rich tomato-red surface with exceptionally little visual pattern, allowing its colour and subtle texture to lead. The close-up image shows gentle tonal variation across the cloth rather than a sharp motif or pronounced sheen.

About this fabric

This plain Kirkby Design fabric is saturated without appearing harsh, reading as a warm red with a slightly softened, earthy depth. Its surface looks finely textured and densely even, with understated variations that become visible across the swatch. No performance features are noted in the supplied data, so the image is the clearest guide to its smooth, quiet finish and solid colourway.

How to use it

Use Smooth Tomato to bring a confident, warm red accent to a room, particularly on a tailored chair, compact sofa or full drapery panel. Pair it with warm neutrals, aged timber or darker brown tones to draw out the shade’s earthy depth.

A warm tomato-red plain cloth with a soft, finely textured surface that suits both upholstery and drapery.

Pairs well with

Smooth Tomato 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.
