Moons in Terracotta has a deep, earthy russet tone that reads brown at first glance, while subtle red warmth emerges across its softly mottled surface. The close-up image shows a quiet, fibrous texture rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

This fabric is catalogued as part of the Misc collection and is supplied as a textile with no performance features noted. Its dark terracotta colour is muted and shaded, combining brick-red warmth with a pronounced brown depth. Fine tonal variation across the surface gives the plain cloth a gently cloudy, tactile appearance. The dense-looking, low-sheen texture makes this colourway particularly convincing for upholstery where a calm, grounded finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use the deep russet Terracotta on an armchair, headboard or compact sofa to add warmth without introducing a bright accent. Pair it with aged timber, smoked neutrals and softly contrasting cream textiles so its red-brown undertone remains visible.

A dark, warm terracotta with a softly mottled texture that brings depth to upholstered furniture.

Pairs well with

Terracotta 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.
