About this fabric

The pattern is built from narrow vertical and horizontal bands, creating small irregular checks rather than a broad, open tartan. Terracotta provides the dominant tone, softened by pale cream threads and punctuated with taupe-brown and muted ochre accents. The closely spaced weave gives the surface a lightly textured, structured appearance, with the warm red-brown colour reading deeper where the darker lines intersect. This is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied data.

How to use it

Use Rua Terracotta to introduce warmth into a neutral room through a tailored armchair, dining seat or relaxed curtain. Pair its earthy red-brown tone with chalky cream, warm timber and muted taupe to echo the quieter colours within the plaid.

A tailored terracotta plaid that brings warm, architectural colour to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

Rua 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.
