About this fabric

The colour is warm and saturated, combining red-brown depth with the earthy character of terracotta. A closely set, understated weave is visible across the surface, giving the fabric a softly textured and predominantly matte appearance. In this swatch, the dark tone absorbs most of the light while the weave adds just enough variation to prevent it from looking flat. No composition, width or rub-test information has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Apache Terracotta on a structured armchair, dining seat or compact sofa where its deep red-brown tone can act as a rich focal colour. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and quiet cream or tobacco neutrals to balance its near-oxblood intensity.

A dense, dark terracotta weave that brings warmth and depth to tailored upholstery.

Apache Terracotta 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.
