About this fabric

This colourway is a muted rust with a terracotta cast, rather than a bright orange-red. Fine vertical ribs run continuously through the swatch, creating a narrow cord-like relief and gentle shadowing between the lines. The surface appears softly textured, while the even direction of the ribbing gives the warm shade a neat, tailored finish.

How to use it

Use this warm rust colourway on a statement chair, headboard or sofa where its narrow vertical texture can add structure. Pair it with softly contrasting creams, warm woods and deeper brown accents to bring out its terracotta depth.

The warm rust tone and neat vertical ribbing bring tailored texture to upholstered seating.

16 Rust 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.
