About this fabric

The swatch is an even rust tone, sitting between terracotta and muted brick rather than a bright orange. Its close-up surface appears finely brushed and softly suede-like, with restrained tonal variation instead of a visible pattern. The dense, matte visual weight makes it best suited to upholstery, where the warm shade can bring depth to a chair or sofa. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this warm rust colour to add grounded, earthy depth to an armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard. Pair it with natural wood, aged brass and soft cream tones to balance its muted terracotta warmth.

A warm rust tone with a soft suede-like finish for inviting upholstered seating.

Dakota Suede Ii 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.
