About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Alaska Rust is specified for severe contract upholstery and drapes, and its 45,000 severe contract rub test confirms the hard-wearing character behind the soft visual finish. The colour is a grounded rust orange with terracotta warmth, not a bright orange, and the nap-like surface catches the light in subtle shades from burnt clay to deeper cinnamon. At 146cm wide and 300gsm, it sits in a versatile mid-to-heavier weight category that suits both furniture and window use. The plain style and low visual contrast make it a practical choice when you want colour and texture rather than a statement motif.

How to use it

Use this rust tone to warm up neutral linens, aged wood and black metal, or pair it with olive and tobacco shades for a layered, autumnal palette. It works especially well on tailored sofas, banquettes and relaxed curtains where the colour can do the talking.

A warm rust plain with an inviting matte look for schemes that need colour without pattern.

Pairs well with

Alaska Rust 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.
