Elmer Red Tulip

Kemble Fabric

Elmer Red Tulip presents a fine, evenly spaced check in muted tulip red and warm cream. The close-set squares give the swatch a crisp pattern at first glance, while the softened red keeps it relaxed rather than bright.

About this fabric

The small-scale check is built from alternating red and cream threads, creating a regular gingham-like surface across the swatch. Its tulip red reads warm and gently softened, with the cream intervals lifting the design without making it look stark. The fine visible texture gives the colourway a woven, tactile character suited to both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so the fabric should be assessed against the intended project requirements before ordering.

How to use it

Use this warm red check on a window seat, occasional chair or relaxed Roman blind, pairing it with painted timber, natural linen and cream upholstery. Its small scale also makes it useful for adding pattern without overwhelming a compact room.

A neat red-and-cream check that brings a warm, country-inspired rhythm to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

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.
