About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Ion Rust is shown here in a rich rust shade that sits between burnt orange and red-brown. Its surface has a fine, irregular woven texture, with darker and lighter threads creating a softly weathered appearance. No performance features are noted in the supplied data, so the fabric is presented according to its visible upholstery-weight character rather than a stated technical rating.

How to use it

Use Ion Rust to bring warmth and grounded colour to an armchair, sofa or dining seat, particularly alongside timber, aged leather and muted neutral walls. Its gently varied terracotta surface can add depth without competing with patterned furnishings.

A warm, softly mottled rust weave that brings earthy depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Ion 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.
