About this fabric

The supplied catalogue identifies Motion Serendite as a fabric, and the image shows a dense-looking plain weave with delicate vertical slubbing. Its earthy red-brown tone is softened rather than bright, giving the surface a grounded, gently weathered depth. Narrow changes in the weave catch the light lightly, keeping the colour from appearing flat while retaining its calm, uniform character. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Pair this warm rust-terracotta colourway with aged timber, tobacco leather or muted cream to draw out its earthy warmth. Its restrained vertical texture also suits tailored seating and simple, full-length curtains where the colour can provide depth without a strong motif.

Use this warm rust-terracotta weave to bring understated depth to upholstery or softly tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Motion Serendite 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.
