Ultra Bitter

Name: Ultra Bitter
Brand: Warwick

Ultra Bitter is a richly dark brown fabric with an almost uniform appearance. Its surface has a subtle softness and low-key tonal variation that keeps the shade from looking completely flat.

About this fabric

The colour reads as bitter chocolate brown, with a deep, earthy warmth rather than a reddish or golden cast. A very restrained surface texture is visible across the swatch, giving the plain colour a gently tactile, matte character. There is no composition, width or performance specification supplied for this colourway, so the image is the basis for its visual description. Its low-contrast appearance gives the fabric a composed, smart feel when used on upholstered forms.

How to use it

Use Ultra Bitter on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its deep brown tone can anchor lighter timber, warm neutral walls and softly contrasting textiles. It also suits layered schemes built around charcoal, parchment and muted tan.

A dark, understated brown with a softly textured matte surface for tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Ultra Bitter 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.
