About this fabric

The fabric is visibly formed from tightly packed yarns, creating a nubby, tactile surface rather than a flat, uniform finish. Rust and terracotta threads dominate, with fine cream and deeper brown flecks giving the swatch a naturally variegated appearance. The small-scale texture catches the light unevenly, making the colour feel layered and gently softened rather than highly saturated. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair Fibre Rust with warm neutrals, aged timber and natural woven accents for an earthy, relaxed room. Its softened terracotta depth is especially effective on occasional chairs, sofas or padded headboards.

Use this warm rust weave to bring earthy colour and tactile depth to upholstered seating.

Fibre 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.
