About this fabric

The colour sits between terracotta and brown, with a muted warmth that avoids a bright orange cast. Across the surface, subtle tonal shifts create a softly mottled appearance rather than a visible pattern. The close weave looks smooth and softly brushed, with light catching unevenly across the swatch. As a plain fabric from Kirkby Design’s Crush Iii collection, it offers a calm, grounded look for upholstered furniture.

How to use it

Use this clay-brown colourway to bring warmth to a neutral room, especially on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair. Pair it with chalky creams, natural timber and deeper rust or tobacco accents to draw out its earthy depth.

A warm, understated clay tone with subtle surface variation for relaxed upholstered pieces.

Crush Fr Easyclean Clay 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.
