About this fabric

The small-scale pattern is made up of uneven russet and terracotta shapes, with the pale ground showing between them to keep the overall effect lively rather than solid. The woven surface has a substantial 300gsm weight, making this outdoor fabric particularly well suited to upholstered seating and other hard-working applications. It has a 140cm usable width and a 40m standard length for practical project planning. The design repeats every 21.5cm vertically and 36cm horizontally, giving the motif a continuous, closely distributed rhythm across a larger piece.

How to use it

Use Arcata Spice on a statement armchair, dining seat or outdoor cushion where its warm terracotta depth can sit alongside natural timber, tan leather and sun-washed neutrals. The cream ground helps soften the pattern while the spice markings add a confident focal note.

A warm terracotta-and-cream outdoor weave that brings a lively, patterned accent to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Arcata Spice 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.
