Guest Picks: 20 Red Fabrics to Energize Your Home
Bring the undeniable power and energy of red to your rooms, with fabric patterns from daring to demure
I love the boldness of red. It's actually one color that I don't use much of in my home, but I am so drawn to it in fabrics and accents. Perhaps it's the July Fourth holiday right around the corner, but I've been so interested in red fabrics lately. I can't get enough of their rich and bold appearance, either as a crisp geometric or a dramatic floral. Check out these picks, any of which are sure to add a dose of energy to your home! — Daniela from Aesthetic Oiseau
P. Kaufmann Bazaar Flame
The whimsy of this fabric gets me every time, and I love the mix of cobalt, green and lavender with a roaring (no pun intended) red.
Premier Prints Anderson Lipstick
A classic red and white buffalo check will never go out of style. I especially love buffalo check in kids' rooms.
Braemore Ferguson Garnet
This is such a beautiful toile with soft taupes and grays paired with red. I could see a beautiful and traditional dressing room decked out in this fabric.
Premier Prints Tunisia Lipstick
I love a zebra pattern when done on a smaller scale. The red twist makes this one pretty sassy. It's a good option to use in a small dose, like on a seat cover.
Richloom Javanese Cardinal
It's tough to work red into a masculine space, but I think this fabric helps bridge the gap between masculine and feminine.
Braemore Ride em Cowboy Chili Fabric
This has to be one of my favorite children's fabrics. What little boy (or girl) wouldn't want cowboys galloping all over the room? The colors in this fabric are all beautiful, and they really give you a chance to use a broad palette throughout a youthful bedroom.
Waverly Rustic Retreat Federal Fabric
Americana at its best, this is the perfect patriotic fabric for a beach house or perhaps a table cloth for a July 4th gathering.
Grapes Dreams Red Cotton Duck Crewel Fabric
Crewel fabric is so beautiful, and its embroidery adds incredible dimension. The red background makes this one feel so rich.
Cinnamon Byzantine Rubble Linen Print
A good messy geometric like this is fun to look at in a crisp, contrasting colorway.
Pindler & Pindler Summerhill Lacquer
Jacobean florals always catch my eye, and I love the combination of mustard yellow, orange and brown paired with a sumptuous red.
Premier Prints Indoor/Outdoor Cadence American Red
This fabric has the look of bamboo fretwork in a very crisp red and white that will really pop as an accent fabric in a room.
Pindler & Pindler Mesa Carnelian
If you like an ethnic vibe to your fabric, this one is perfect. I never tire of a pink and red combination, and the ikat print keeps it from feeling too sweet.
Pindler & Pindler Wynn Americana
I like the traditional, understated elegance of this stripe. It's another great patriotic fabric for a stately dining room or even a casual beach abode.
Pindler & Pindler Beverlyglen Campari
The drama of these florals really made me love this fabric. The flowers remind me of vintage Victorian drawings, but paired with such a vibrant red, they really come to life!
Waverly Cross Section, Raspberry
This is the perfect preppy geometric. It works great with nautical or chinoiserie decor.
Pindler & Pindler Karina Bali
This is another great ethnic ikat, yet this one has a more subdued color contrast, making it feel more like a solid fabric. I love the tomato red color with pinkish highlights.
Pindler & Pindler Tamar Tomato
This fabric takes a very simple geometric and puts it on an angle to create a special look. I especially love its cherry-red hue.
Pindler & Pindler Cheetah Red
This modified leopard print in pink and red is so eye-catching! It's definitely a bold option if you're looking for a statement fabric.
Pindler & Pindler Benisa Rouge
If I remember correctly, this is a large-scale pattern that creates a beautiful traditional statement in a room. I could see it used to great effect in a large dining room with blush-pink walls.
