About this fabric

The close-up shows a largely plain surface in a warm clay red, sitting between terracotta and softened rust rather than bright scarlet. A fine, low-contrast texture gently breaks up the colour, giving the face a dry, matte depth as the light shifts. The supplied record lists this as a fabric and notes no performance features; no composition, width or rub-test figures have been supplied. Its restrained surface keeps the earthy colour as the main visual statement.

How to use it

Use 09 Clay to bring grounded warmth to a room, particularly on seating, cushions or full-length curtains. Pair its muted rust-red tone with natural timber, warm neutrals and aged brass for an understated, earthy scheme.

Pairs well with

09 Clay 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.
