About this fabric

The swatch reads as a muted rust shade, sitting between terracotta and warm brick rather than a bright orange. Its plain woven face is enlivened by delicate vertical slubs and tonal variation, giving the surface a gently tactile finish. No composition, width or rub-test specification is supplied for this SKU, and no performance features are noted. Visually, its balanced texture and mid-weight appearance make it suitable for either upholstery or drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Motion Rust to warm a neutral room, pairing its earthy terracotta tone with natural timber, oat textiles and softly aged brass. It can bring particular depth to a plain upholstered chair or relaxed full-length curtain.

A warm rust-toned plain weave that brings earthy colour and subtle texture to upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

Motion 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.
