About this fabric

This colourway reads as saturated paprika, sitting between burnt orange and brown-red with a distinctly warm character. Fine, irregular horizontal threads run across the swatch, creating a dense woven texture with gentle tonal variation. The surface looks substantial enough to suit upholstery, although no composition, usage, width or rub-test information has been supplied. No performance features are noted for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair the warm paprika-rust tone with walnut, dark oak or aged brass for a grounded, softly dramatic scheme. It can also bring warmth to a neutral room where the finely textured surface adds interest without a visible motif.

Use this warm paprika-rust tone to add rich, earthy depth to upholstered seating and complementary furnishings.

17 Paprika 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.
