Melton Pillarbox presents a vivid pillarbox red across a closely woven surface, with subtle tonal variation where the fabric folds. Its clean, pattern-free appearance keeps the colour at the centre of the design.

About this fabric

The saturated red reads deepest in the recessed folds and brighter across the raised planes, giving the cloth a lively sense of depth. A fine, regular weave is clearly visible across the surface, adding quiet texture without introducing a motif. The fabric is catalogued as Fabric, while no performance features or further specification data are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use the strong pillarbox red on a chair, footstool or bench where its saturated tone can act as a confident focal accent. Balance it with warm neutrals or dark timber to preserve the colour’s tailored, graphic impact.

Use this vivid woven red to give upholstered seating a confident, tailored focal point.

Pairs well with

Melton Pillarbox 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.
