Chess Red

Name: Chess Red
Brand: Titley & Marr

Chess Red shows a small diamond lattice in a warm, lively red, with pale threads softening the pattern into a textured surface. The motif feels crisp and regular, giving the swatch a tailored, graphic look.

About this fabric

Chess Red from Titley & Marr’s Chess and Chequers collection is presented here as a fabric with no further performance specification supplied. The weave reads as a neat jacquard-style geometric, with tiny diamond shapes picked out in pale yarn against a saturated red ground. That contrast keeps the colourway bright and defined, while the slightly irregular woven texture stops it from feeling flat. Its compact scale and clear repeat make it especially suited to pieces where the pattern can be appreciated close up.

How to use it

Use this red as a focused accent on an armchair, bench or tailored cushion where the diamond pattern can add structure. It sits well with natural woods, ivory paintwork and calm linen textures, letting the red do the work without overwhelming the room.

Pairs neatly with oak, linen and quiet neutrals for a tailored look.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Chess Red without fighting it. 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.
