Tapestry Red (1112095) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Tapestry Red (1112095)

Tapestry Red (1112095) is a bold red shade by Dulux - a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Tapestry Red

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.

Building a Palette With Tapestry Red

For a whole-home look, use Tapestry Red as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

• Deep green or navy - for a confident contrast.
• Brass or blush - to soften or lift the tone.
• Warm white and cream - to give the eye somewhere to rest.

A shared accent between two rooms is an easy way to make the whole home feel considered.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Tapestry Red shows its depth in good light but can flatten in a dim room, so keep it where light is strong.

Best finish: A flat matt finish shows it at its richest and suits feature walls; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens and bathrooms.

Worth Knowing

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - red can look different at noon and by lamplight. Deep colours read best with two coats over a tinted basecoat.
