About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester and measuring 140cm wide, this Byron collection fabric has a compact, textured surface that reads as durable and well suited to everyday use. The terracotta shade is rich but slightly softened, with lighter yarns flickering through the pattern to give it a dry, sunbaked look rather than a glossy finish. Its fine-scale herringbone-like structure adds visual grain and helps the colour feel layered from close up. No repeat is noted, and the overall effect is a practical, relaxed fabric with a warm Mediterranean undertone.

How to use it

Use this terracotta colourway on an armchair, banquette, or scatter cushions to add warmth against oak, cream paint, or muted olive. It also works well in rooms that need a grounded accent without resorting to a heavy brown.

A warm, textural accent that brings earthy colour to clean-lined seating or cushions.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Shelley Terracotta without fighting it. 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.
