Modena Terracotta

Modena Fabric13105

Modena Terracotta is a richly coloured plain with a warm burnt-orange base and a subtly mottled surface. The pile-like texture catches the light to give the shade extra depth and a gently worn, velvety look.

About this fabric

This colourway in the Modena collection reads as a deep terracotta with red-brown undertones and brighter coppery highlights where the light lands on the surface. The plain design keeps the focus on the colour shift and the soft, tactile texture visible in the swatch. Woven in 100% polyester, this contract fabric is specified to 80,000 Martindale, making it a hard-wearing choice for demanding schemes. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available upon request, and can be professionally dry cleaned in situ or washed at 40°C in line with the pattern book guidance.

How to use it

Use this warm terracotta to soften dark timber, tan leather and bronze details, or pair it with chalky neutrals for a more balanced scheme. Its earthy depth works especially well on statement upholstery where you want colour without losing a grounded, practical feel.

A rich burnt terracotta plain that brings warmth and depth to structured seating or accent pieces.

Pairs well with

Modena 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.
