About this fabric

The fabric is shown draped in generous folds, revealing a velvet-like pile with gentle highlights across the raised areas and deeper shading in the creases. Rather than a flat scarlet, this madder red reads as muted and mineral-rich, with brown and plum undertones adding depth. The plain surface keeps attention on the changing nap and sculptural fall of the cloth, making it especially suited to upholstery where the colour can build a dramatic, tactile statement.

How to use it

Pair this deep madder red with aged timber, smoked metal or warm neutral walls for a layered, intimate room scheme. It would bring particular depth to a lounge chair, sofa or upholstered headboard.

Use this richly shaded madder red to bring plush depth and a dramatic, cocooning feel to upholstered seating.

Lovely Madder 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.
