About this fabric

The pattern is formed from curling botanical stems, leaves and fine tendrils in pale cream, creating a light tracery against the red-brown terracotta base. Its compact, richly detailed appearance makes the fabric read as upholstery-led, with enough visual depth to hold attention on a chair or sofa. The warm base feels softened rather than bright, while the cream motifs bring definition across the surface. No composition, width or rub-test information is supplied for this fabric, so those specifications should be confirmed before ordering for a particular application.

How to use it

Use this terracotta-and-cream colourway on an occasional chair, headboard or traditional sofa, pairing it with warm timber, aged brass and quiet neutral walls. Its muted red-brown depth also works well as a small upholstery accent in a room built around taupe, parchment or soft olive tones.

A warm, muted terracotta ground with cream scrolling foliage for traditional upholstery and characterful accent seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Foreman II without fighting it. 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.
