About this fabric

This colourway shows a dense, pebbled weave with a matte finish and tiny tonal shifts that lift the surface without making it busy. In Russet, the shade reads as a muted warm beige with a brown undertone, so it feels grounded rather than golden or red. It is woven in 100% polyester and specified for Heavy Domestic use, with a Martindale rating of 45,000, making it suitable for hard-working upholstery. The fabric is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and professional dry clean in situ is recommended by a specialist cleaner used to handling this type of material.

How to use it

Use this soft earthy neutral on an armchair, sofa or ottoman where the textured surface can add warmth without overpowering the room. It pairs especially well with natural woods, black accents and other muted neutrals.

A warm neutral that brings soft depth to seating and cushions.

Pairs well with

Geneva Russet 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.
