About this fabric

The fabric has a dense, close weave with a small-scale nubby texture visible throughout the terracotta ground. Darker and lighter threads create gentle tonal variation rather than a sharply defined motif, so the colour reads as layered and tactile. The burnt orange-brown shade brings a grounded, earthy warmth that deepens in the denser areas of the weave. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Draughts Spice with warm timber, aged leather and creamy neutrals for an inviting upholstered chair or sofa. Its burnt terracotta tone also works well as an earthy accent against olive, charcoal or deep brown.

Use this warm, close-woven terracotta on upholstered seating to bring earthy colour and tactile depth to a room.

Draughts Spice 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.
