Town Hide

Town Hide has a calm, muted terracotta tone that reads as warm clay rather than bright red. Its plain surface is enlivened by a fine vertical grain and gentle tonal variation.

About this fabric

This plain woven fabric is coloured in a softened clay-red terracotta, with a subtly shaded appearance across the surface. The close, fine grain gives the cloth a restrained texture without introducing a visible motif or repeat. Light catches the weave gently, keeping the overall look matte and quietly dimensional. It is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied data.

How to use it

Pair this warm terracotta colourway with oatmeal, tobacco and aged wood for an earthy scheme, or use it against chalky neutrals to let its clay depth stand out. Its quiet plain weave works across upholstered forms and relaxed window treatments.

Use this muted clay-red plain weave to bring warmth and quiet depth to upholstered seating, cushions or softly tailored curtains.

Pairs well with

Town Hide 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.
