About this fabric

This Orso colourway is a 100% cotton fabric with an approximate width of 138cm and no repeat, making it especially straightforward to cut and upholster. In the image, the tone sits between beige and taupe with a muted warmth, giving it a grounded, versatile look rather than a cool grey finish. The cloth appears finely woven and lightly brushed in appearance, with a low-sheen surface that keeps the colour soft and approachable. The care code Q 8 < T 3 and fire code √CM provide the practical specification points for planning.

How to use it

Use this greige on a sofa, banquette or headboard where you want a neutral that still feels warmer than grey. It pairs neatly with oak, walnut, linen whites and bronzed metal finishes.

A quietly tailored neutral that layers easily with timber, leather and soft stone shades.

Pairs well with

Orso Greige 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.
