About this fabric

The close-up image shows a dusty terracotta shade with a subtle pink cast, rather than a bright orange clay. Its even, suede-like surface reads as soft and lightly napped, with a restrained variation in tone as the light moves across it. No composition, width, rub test or other performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this softened clay colour to bring warmth to an armchair, sofa or ottoman, especially alongside chalky neutrals, natural timber and deeper brown accents. Its muted pink-terracotta balance keeps the room welcoming without feeling overly saturated.

A warm, muted clay tone with a soft suede-like appearance for relaxed upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

Dakota Suede Ii 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.
