Name: Rustic Clay

Rustic Clay has a softly earthy appearance, blending muted clay, beige and taupe across a densely textured surface. Fine tonal flecks give the swatch gentle depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

This Cormar Natural Berber Twist colourway is catalogued as a Carpet in Wool Twist. The close-up shows a compact, nubby twist with closely spaced fibres and a lightly irregular surface. Warm clay and sandy beige dominate, while darker taupe flecks and occasional pale fibres create a softly mottled finish. Its dense, substantial appearance makes it the upholstery-led choice within the available classification.

How to use it

Use Rustic Clay on a generously shaped chair, footstool or upholstered bench where its warm clay-beige tone can anchor linen, timber and natural stone. Pair it with oat, tobacco and softly weathered brown accents to bring out the swatch’s earthy variation.

Its warm, softly flecked clay tone brings earthy depth to upholstered seating and rustic, natural schemes.

Pairs well with

Rustic Clay 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.
