About this fabric

The close-up shows a dense-looking woven surface with no printed motif, just a fine, understated grid of threads. Its orange tone leans towards soft apricot and coral rather than a bright, saturated orange, giving the colour a mellow warmth. Small tonal shifts catch across the weave, adding depth without creating a strongly directional pattern. With no performance features or further specification data supplied, this description is based on the visible textile surface and colourway.

How to use it

Bring Grade Orange into an upholstered chair, headboard or accent piece where its mellow apricot warmth can sit against chalky cream, tan, terracotta or pale timber. Keep surrounding patterns quiet to let the subtle woven texture provide the detail.

Use this softly muted apricot-orange with warm neutrals, pale timber and natural woven textures for an inviting scheme.

Grade Orange 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.
