Patina Sienna

Patina Sienna is a warm, earthy colourway with a rust-brown ground and a finely woven surface. Its subtle tonal shifts give the plain textile quiet depth rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The close weave creates a delicate crosshatched texture that is clearly visible across the swatch, while the sienna tone sits between muted terracotta and deep reddish brown. Small variations in the threads soften the colour and give the surface a gently weathered, patinated appearance. The textile is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted. Its balanced visual weight makes it suitable to consider for both upholstered pieces and softly dressed windows.

How to use it

Use Patina Sienna to warm a room with its subdued rust-brown tone, pairing it with aged timber, chalky neutrals or deep olive accents. The fine weave also works well where a plain fabric needs texture without a pronounced pattern.

A warm, finely woven sienna textile that brings earthy depth to upholstery, curtains and layered schemes.

Pairs well with

Patina Sienna 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.
