About this fabric

The design is formed from repeated narrow vertical bands, with the pale lines varying subtly in width against the deep red-toned ground. Its terracotta shade reads warm and earthy rather than bright, while the cream threads catch the light and keep the stripe from feeling heavy. The close-up view shows a textile surface with a fine, lightly textured appearance. No performance features are noted for this catalogued fabric.

How to use it

Pair Houlgate Terre Cuite with warm oak, aged brass and soft cream upholstery for a grounded, period-informed room. Its vertical stripe can add height to curtains or bring tailored rhythm to a chair or headboard.

Use the warm terracotta ground to bring depth to curtains, cushions or tailored upholstery, with cream and taupe accents echoing the fine stripes.

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.
