About this fabric

This colourway in the Palermo collection reads as a deep terracotta rust, with brown undertones and a gently heathered surface that catches the light unevenly. It is a 100% polyester fabric with a 25,000 Martindale rating, making it suitable for general domestic upholstery. The plain design style and the visible texture create a grounded, tactile look that feels substantial without being heavy. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it also offers practical reassurance for everyday interiors. Machine washing at 30 degrees or professional dry cleaning in situ is available, subject to the pattern book care guidance.

How to use it

Use Palermo Rust on an accent chair, banquette or loose cushion where its warm tone can anchor paler neutrals. It pairs especially well with oak, tobacco leather, cream linens and muted olive accents.

A warm rust tone that brings easy depth to seating and cushions.

Pairs well with

Palermo Rust 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.
