Ruskin Soft Red is a softly muted red textile with a gentle coral cast. Its close, even weave gives the surface a restrained texture rather than a patterned finish.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a compact plain weave with fine vertical thread definition and subtle tonal variation across the surface. Its soft red colouring leans warm and coral, with a lightly faded depth rather than a bright or saturated scarlet. The unobtrusive texture keeps the colourway calm while adding visible material character at close range. No composition, width or rub-test information has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this warm coral-red as a softly colourful upholstery fabric on a chair, bench or headboard, balancing it with chalky neutrals, aged timber and dusty pinks. Its quiet weave can also suit relaxed, tailored curtains where a little colour is wanted without a visible pattern.

A muted coral-red plain weave with fine thread definition for upholstery or softly tailored drapery.

Pairs well with

Ruskin Soft Red 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.
