About this fabric

Town Burnt Henna is catalogued as a fabric; no composition, width or performance figures were supplied for this colourway. In the swatch, a dense, fine weave gives the surface a nearly plain appearance, with delicate vertical variation breaking up the red. The burnt-henna tone sits between terracotta and brick, reading warm and earthy rather than bright scarlet, while slight shifts in the weave create a softly shaded finish.

How to use it

Use this warm burnt-henna red to bring earthy depth to an upholstered chair, sofa or pair of curtains. It pairs naturally with chalky neutrals, aged timber and darker rust or tobacco accents.

A warm, brick-leaning red with a quiet woven texture that brings depth without a visible pattern.

Pairs well with

Town Burnt Henna 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.
