Bold and classic
An impactful shade that commands attention, our deep Empire Red is perfect for creating a striking living room filled with energy and warmth. Try pairing with intricately patterned cushions to enhance the eccentricity and drama of the shade, or soften with cool beige, crisp white and natural accessories. Leafy green plants and warm woods will bring even the most intense reds back down to earth.

Dark and regal
Our rich cherry red Valentina will add a touch of elegance to your kitchen cabinets, pairing beautifully with dark brass finishes and natural textures. The sophisticated red is offset by our neutral Warm Clay, allowing Valentina to take centre stage. For a more light-hearted take on the shade, combine deep, brown-toned Valentina panels with blushed rose Heartfelt on the door frame, for a cohesive contrast with the same undertone.

Rich and earthy
Earth-toned reds are perfect for creating a cosy, inviting atmosphere. A deep earthy shade like Fire Brick takes the vibrancy of red and grounds it with warm brown. Inspired by clay, brick, terracotta and organic materials, they fill rooms with an intense warmth that is mellowed by the calm of the natural world. Try pairing Fire Brick with a warm, yellow-toned beige like Sandhaven for a harmonious colour combination.

Muted and dusky
If you want a more subtle take on a fiery shade, our pared-back red Faded Ember is exactly what you need. Dusky and earthy, this soft, sun-baked red will fill rooms with warmth without overwhelming the space. Pair Faded Ember with rich olive green for complementary earth tones and a sizzle of Mediterranean style.
