Smooth Apricot

Name: Smooth Apricot
Brand: Kirkby Design

Smooth Apricot is a warm apricot terracotta plain with a calm, even appearance across the swatch. Its softly muted colour is lifted by a fine textile grain rather than a visible motif.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a gentle terracotta-apricot, warmer and softer than a bright orange, with a slightly dusty depth. The surface appears smooth at first glance, while close inspection reveals a restrained, fine grain that keeps the plain cloth from looking flat. The even colour makes the fabric feel polished and quietly tailored rather than rustic or heavily textured. No further specification data is supplied for this colourway, so composition, width and rub-test details are not stated here.

How to use it

Pair Smooth Apricot with chalky creams, warm taupes and pale timber to create a softly sunlit scheme. Its muted terracotta tone also works as a restrained accent on a chair, bench or simple curtain.

Use this warm apricot terracotta plain to add soft colour and a polished, understated finish to upholstery or window treatments.

Pairs well with

Smooth Apricot 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.
