Carrera Clay

Leon Fabric

Carrera Clay is a quietly textured plain in a warm clay-beige shade, with a soft, matte look that feels calm and earthy. The close weave gives the surface a subtle linen-like character without any visible pattern.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring 140cm wide, Carrera Clay is a plain fabric with a 0cm pattern repeat and no performance finish noted. The colour reads as a muted clay beige with a gentle grey-brown undertone, giving it a settled, sun-baked warmth rather than a bright tan. In the image, the weave is fine and even, so the surface looks smooth from a distance but still has enough texture to add depth up close. That combination makes it easy to use where a natural-looking, understated finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use it for relaxed upholstery, simple curtains or Roman blinds where a soft earthy neutral will sit comfortably with timber, stone and painted finishes. Its warm, low-key tone is especially good in rooms that need colour without losing calm.

A soft clay tone that works neatly across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Carrera 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.
