Brand: Harlequin
SKU: HAF0543-10

Islay Terracotta presents a warm, russet-leaning terracotta ground, softened by dense cream flecks and a visibly nubby boucle surface. The close-up image shows a richly mottled textile with depth rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

This Harlequin Performance Boucle colourway has a substantial 519gsm weight and a 138cm usable width, making it particularly well suited to upholstery. Its terracotta-brown base reads earthy and warm, while scattered pale fibres create a softly broken, chalky contrast across the surface. The dense boucle texture catches the light unevenly, giving the colourway a grounded, tactile character rather than a flat block of colour. With 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats, the supplied specification confirms a continuous textured surface without a repeating design to align.

How to use it

Use Islay Terracotta on a deep sofa, dining chair or upholstered headboard where its warm russet tone can anchor a room. Pair it with aged timber, ivory boucle or muted olive accents to draw out the flecked surface without competing with its earthy depth.

Its substantial boucle texture and earthy terracotta tone bring tactile warmth to upholstered seating and occasional pieces.

Pairs well with

Islay 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.
