Orso Opale

Orso FabricM4114-31

Orso Opale is a calm, softly diffused green with a cool opaline cast that gives the surface a gentle, understated depth. The plain finish lets the colour do the work, reading smooth and quietly tonal across the cloth.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a muted opal green that sits between sage and sea glass, with a cool, restful character rather than a bright botanical one. The 100% cotton cloth has a soft, natural handle, and at approx. 138cm wide it is a practical plain for made-to-measure projects. With vertical and horizontal repeat both at 0cm approx., the fabric is an uninterrupted ground that highlights the shade and its subtle shifts in light. The overall effect is smart and composed, with just enough texture to keep the surface from looking flat.

How to use it

Use Orso Opale on clean-lined upholstery, relaxed curtains, or upholstered headboards where its muted green can bring a fresh but grounded note. It pairs especially well with pale oak, chalk white, and brushed brass.

A muted green cotton that works beautifully for tailored upholstery or clean drapery.

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.
