Aloe Fabric

Aloe Apricot is a softly luminous orange textile with the gentle warmth of ripe apricot. Its surface appears almost plain from a distance, while a fine, even weave adds quiet texture up close.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a warm apricot orange, softened rather than highly saturated, with a delicate glow across the face of the cloth. A close, regular weave creates subtle horizontal and vertical grain without introducing a visible motif or pattern. The fine surface gives the fabric a light, fluid appearance suited to drapery. No performance features are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Aloe Apricot to bring a mellow, sun-warmed accent to curtains in rooms with cream, pale timber or chalky neutral finishes. Its gentle orange tone works especially well where a softer alternative to terracotta is wanted.

A warm apricot tone and fine, even weave bring a soft, sunlit quality to curtains and light textile schemes.

Pairs well with

Aloe Apricot 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.
