About this fabric

The small-scale check is clearly visible across the swatch, with irregular woven detail giving the pattern a softly textured, handcrafted appearance. Terracotta is the dominant note, warmed and softened by pale cream and muted taupe threads rather than appearing as a flat, saturated red. The dense surface has a nubby, tactile look, while the closely spaced checks keep the overall effect neat and understated. This is a relaxed colourway with enough tonal variation to add depth to an upholstered form.

How to use it

Use Check Terracotta on a relaxed armchair, footstool or headboard, pairing its warm clay tones with natural timber, oatmeal upholstery and aged brass. The cream and taupe flecks make it easy to layer with softly textured neutrals without losing the terracotta accent.

A warm, tactile check for upholstered pieces that need colour without a bold graphic effect.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Check Terracotta without fighting it. 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.
