About this fabric

This colourway has a warm beige-brown cast with a gentle clay undertone, reading soft and matte rather than bright or sandy. The visible weave is subtle and even, giving the cloth a quiet texture that feels refined without being fussy. Woven in 100% cotton and measuring 140cm wide, it is a practical fabric for interiors where a natural handle and understated finish are desired. With no repeat to match, it is straightforward to cut and use across tailored upholstery or simple curtains. The overall effect is relaxed, neutral and slightly earthy, with enough warmth to sit comfortably alongside wood, linen and painted finishes.

How to use it

Use it on an armchair, dining seat pad or relaxed roman blind to bring in a soft clay note without overpowering the room. Its muted warmth pairs especially well with oat, mushroom and weathered timber tones.

A versatile warm neutral that works beautifully on relaxed upholstery or soft window dressing.

Heritage Panama 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.
