Liso Orchid

Name: Liso Orchid

Liso Orchid is a soft, cool orchid-lilac textile with an almost uninterrupted plain surface. Its subtle sateen character gives the colour a gentle depth rather than a bright, highly saturated appearance.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a very fine, even weave, with delicate horizontal and diagonal texture visible across the smooth face. Its muted purple tone sits between lilac and orchid, reading cool and softly shaded rather than vivid. As part of the Liso Sateen collection, the surface catches the light with a restrained satin-like glow. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Liso Orchid for full-length curtains or relaxed Roman blinds where its cool lilac tone can bring a quiet colour note to a pale, tonal scheme. Pair it with chalky whites, soft greys or deeper plum accents to underline the shade's gentle depth.

A cool orchid-lilac plain weave with a restrained sateen glow, especially suited to softly falling curtains.

Liso Orchid 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.
