About this fabric

The colour sits between crimson and oxblood, reading as a saturated, warm red rather than a bright scarlet. Fine surface fibres create soft, darker and lighter shifts where the light changes, while the close texture remains visually plain. The supplied catalogue identifies this as a fabric, with no composition, width, rub test or performance features provided. Its dense-looking, softly brushed appearance makes it most naturally suited to upholstery-led schemes.

How to use it

Use this deep crimson on a compact armchair, dining seat or occasional footstool where its warm depth can act as the room’s main colour accent. Pair it with aged timber, dark metal or warm neutral walls to keep the red rich rather than overly vivid.

A rich crimson ground with a softly brushed surface, well suited to statement upholstery.

7860/X226 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.
