About this fabric

The dominant terracotta has a softly muted, earthen character rather than a bright orange cast, while the purple lines add cool depth and definition. Slim ivory accents separate the darker stripes, making the vertical rhythm feel crisp without becoming stark. The fine weave and gentle light-catching surface are consistent with its place in Dedar’s Satin fabrics collection. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so the fabric’s appeal here is its colour balance, stripe scale and polished texture.

How to use it

Use the warm terracotta ground for full-length curtains in a room with walnut, aged brass or cream upholstery, then repeat the purple in a small accent for a pulled-together scheme.

Use this warm terracotta and purple stripe to bring tailored colour and a gentle satin sheen to curtains.

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.
