Chelsea Tangerine

Name: Chelsea Tangerine
Brand: Kirkby Design

Chelsea Tangerine brings a saturated, sun-warmed orange to a close-up plain weave. The fine cross-thread texture gives the colour gentle depth, so it reads as rich rather than glossy.

About this fabric

The image shows a saturated warm tangerine-orange ground with a quiet, closely woven texture rather than a visible printed motif. Fine tonal variation across the surface keeps the orange from looking flat, with slightly lighter threads catching the light in places. Its even, compact appearance makes it read as a versatile mid-weight fabric for upholstery or drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use this warm tangerine colourway to energise a neutral room, particularly on an occasional chair, bench or full-length curtain where its finely textured surface can add depth without introducing a pattern.

The warm tangerine-orange tone and fine woven texture bring inviting colour to upholstery, curtains or layered soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Chelsea Tangerine 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.
