Luxoria Illusion Opal Flat

SS24 Images - Jardine, Luxoria & Orissa Fabric

Luxoria Illusion Opal Flat shows a fluid marbled pattern in opal taupe, beige and soft grey, with a gently washed, mineral look across the surface. The colourway feels light but earthy, with darker vein-like marks giving it movement and depth.

About this fabric

Woven in 53% cotton and 47% viscose, this fabric has a soft handle and a fluid drapery character rather than an upholstery-weight body, and it is listed as not suitable for upholstery. The design repeats at 37cm horizontally and 63cm vertically, supporting the large-scale, waterfall-like marbling visible in the image. Opal Flat combines pale stone, warm taupe and muted grey-brown striations, so the effect is calm but not flat, with the lighter grounds catching the eye against the darker drawn lines. It is treatable for FR drapery and has a colour fastness rating of 6, making it a practical choice for decorative curtains and accessories.

How to use it

Use this opal taupe colourway in rooms that need warmth without heaviness, especially where the soft marbling can echo stone, wood or brushed metal finishes. It works well as statement drapery in neutral schemes, adding texture and movement without introducing strong colour.

Ideal for statement curtains where the marbled opal tones can soften a room without feeling plain.

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.
