Town Russet presents a rich russet red-brown across a quiet, plain-woven surface. Fine vertical and horizontal threads create a restrained texture that becomes more visible where the light catches the swatch.

About this fabric

The colour sits between burnt red and warm brown, giving the fabric a deep, earthy presence without a pronounced motif. Its close weave has a subtle crosshatched grain, with slight tonal variation across the surface rather than a completely flat finish. The supplied information lists no composition, width or performance specification for this colourway. The visible mid-weight appearance makes it suitable to consider for both upholstery and drapery, subject to project-specific testing and requirements.

How to use it

Pair Town Russet with aged timber, tobacco leather and warm neutrals for a grounded room, or use it as a rich red-brown counterpoint to softer clay and cream tones. Its plain surface can also balance patterned cushions or curtains without competing for attention.

Use this warm russet plain weave to bring grounded red-brown depth to upholstery, curtains or layered schemes.

Pairs well with

Town Russet 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.
