Alder Earthenware

Bampton FabricF4884-13

Alder in Earthenware reads as a softly warmed terracotta with a peachy cast and a matte, gently peppered surface. The plain weave gives it a calm, grounded look rather than a bold decorative one.

About this fabric

This colourway has a sun-baked beige-pink tone that feels warm and muted, with tiny flecks in the weave that add depth close up. It is a fabric with no visible repeat, and the 140cm approx width makes it practical for a wide range of interior applications. The composition combines 51% Cotton, 16% Polyester, 14% Viscose, 12% Linen and 7% Wool, giving the cloth a natural, lightly nubbled handle with a discreetly textural finish. The overall effect is more earthy than bright, so the shade sits comfortably between blush and clay.

How to use it

Use this earthenware tone to soften a room with oak, limestone or aged brass, where its warm neutrality will feel especially settled. It works well for upholstered seating or relaxed curtains when you want colour that is present but not overpowering.

A warm, quietly textured neutral that suits tailored upholstery or softened curtains.

Pairs well with

Alder Earthenware 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.
