About this fabric

The colour sits between muted red and earthy terracotta, with a warm brick depth rather than a bright or orange finish. A fine, close weave gives the surface a gentle grain, while the low-contrast texture allows the shade to remain calm and cohesive. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric. Its fine, light-looking construction reads particularly well for understated drapery, where the rich colour can provide warmth without a pronounced pattern.

How to use it

Use Start Brick to bring a grounded terracotta note to curtains or Roman blinds, especially alongside warm neutrals, timber and softly textured furnishings. Its plain surface lets the brick tone provide the room’s colour interest without competing with patterned upholstery.

Pairs well with

Start Brick 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.
