About this fabric

This colourway is shown as a plain fabric with no visible pattern repeat, allowing the tonal depth of the surface to do the work. Woven in 100% cotton, it has the dry, natural look associated with cotton cloth rather than sheen-heavy decoration, and the 138cm approximate width makes it practical for furnishing projects. The Terre Cuite shade is a concentrated terracotta red: warmer than burgundy, browner than a classic red, and slightly muted so it feels sophisticated rather than bright. With no repeat and a simple woven appearance, it lends itself to a calm, solid block of colour across upholstery or curtains. The supplied care code Q 8 < T 3 and √CM fire code confirm it as a catalogue fabric with the expected technical details for specification.

How to use it

Use this tone to bring warmth to walnut, oak and brass, where the colour’s earthy depth will feel especially grounded. It works well in rooms that need a richer accent without the sharpness of a brighter red.

A rich earthy red that adds warmth and depth to tailored interiors.

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.
