Ember Brick

Name: Ember Brick
Brand: Kirkby Design

Ember Brick presents a deep, warm brick-red ground with a closely flecked surface. Pale irregular specks catch across the colour, giving the swatch a softly varied appearance rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a rich terracotta-red tone with subtle brown depth beneath the warmer brick colour. Fine pale flecks are distributed throughout the surface, creating a small-scale, almost granular texture. Its dense, tactile-looking appearance gives the colourway a relaxed, substantial character that reads particularly well on upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use Ember Brick on a statement chair, sofa or bench where its warm red-brown depth can anchor a room. Balance the flecked surface with soft cream, muted stone and dark natural wood.

Pair this warm brick-red upholstery with chalky neutrals, dark timber and aged brass for a grounded, tactile scheme.

Ember Brick 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.
