About this fabric

This Palma II colourway from Jane Churchill is woven in 100% polyester with an approximate width of 140cm, a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm, care code C 8 < T 3 and fire code K. Visually, the fabric has a plain appearance with a subtle crosswoven grain that gives the surface quiet movement without any obvious pattern. Palma Umber is a warm burnt red-brown, richer than terracotta and less orange than rust, so it carries a comfortable earthy depth. The finish catches light softly, making the shade feel layered and slightly weathered rather than flat. With no performance features noted, it reads as a versatile decorative fabric for schemes that want colour and texture without formality.

How to use it

Use this umber tone to bring warmth to pale wood, chalky plaster and natural linen, or to anchor a room with cream and tobacco accents. It works especially well where you want a grounded, autumnal colour that still feels tailored.

A rich earthy red that brings warmth and depth to contemporary or classic schemes.

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.
