About this fabric

This colourway is a saturated orange-red, sitting between burnt terracotta and deep sumac rather than reading as a bright scarlet. As a plain velvet, it has an even face with a fine, directional nap that creates subtle shifts from lighter coral-red to deeper rust. The close texture gives the shade visual depth without introducing a woven motif or pattern. Its warm intensity makes it especially effective when used as a confident upholstery colour.

How to use it

Use Frieda Sumac on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its warm terracotta depth can anchor softer neutrals, aged timber and dark metal accents.

Use this warm sumac terracotta velvet to bring rich, softly glowing colour to upholstered seating.

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.
