About this fabric

At 78gsm, Foresta Sheer is a light, translucent textile suited to drapery rather than hard-wearing upholstery. Its 302cm useable width supports generous curtain drops, while the 30m standard length is suited to continuous runs. Across the cloth, washed terracotta bars and pools sit against pale translucent grey, cream and blue-green, with olive and rust notes deepening where the folds overlap. With a 302cm vertical and 269cm horizontal repeat, the broad abstract marks read as large-scale painterly panels rather than a small motif. The 60 threads-per-centimetre specification reflects the fine construction visible in the sheer surface.

How to use it

Use this colourway for full-height curtains where its baked terracotta washes can warm incoming daylight without closing down the room. Pair it with chalky neutrals, pale timber and muted sage or blue-green accents to echo the cooler marks within the cloth.

A lightweight, translucent drapery with warm terracotta washes balanced by cool blue-green, sage and cream tones.

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.
