About this fabric

The terracotta tone sits between burnt orange and warm brown, giving the fabric a grounded, sun-baked character rather than a bright, saturated orange appearance. A fine, even weave creates subtle vertical and horizontal variation across the surface, while the low-key texture keeps the plain design from looking flat. The close weave appears versatile enough for upholstery or drapery based on the visible cloth weight. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this warm terracotta on an occasional chair, headboard or tailored curtain to introduce an earthy focal colour. Pair it with chalky neutrals, dark timber and muted olive for a comfortably grounded scheme.

A warm clay-toned plain weave that brings depth and gentle texture to upholstery or softly tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Sahara Iii Terracotta 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.
