About this fabric

This Bordeaux colourway reads as a deep burgundy red rather than a bright scarlet, with darker tonal depth visible across the face. Fine horizontal striations and uneven brushing add understated texture to the otherwise plain design, catching the light in soft bands. Its dense-looking surface and rich colour make it best classified for upholstery. No composition, width or rub-test information is supplied for this colourway, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended application.

How to use it

Use the deep Bordeaux tone on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat where its wine-red depth can anchor a room. Balance it with aged brass, walnut, charcoal or warm neutral textiles.

Use this rich Bordeaux tone to bring depth to upholstered seating and pair it with warm timber, brass or muted neutrals.

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.
