Orion Peat

Name: Orion Peat

Orion Peat is a deep, near-charcoal brown with a softly varied surface of fine horizontal marks. Its low-contrast texture gives the swatch a quiet, grounded depth rather than a pronounced pattern.

About this fabric

The supplied catalogue identifies Orion Peat as a fabric, while the image shows a dense-looking woven surface with closely spaced horizontal striations. The peat tone shifts subtly between brown, charcoal and muted olive-brown, creating depth across the face of the cloth. Its restrained texture and dark tonal range give this colourway a smart, understated character without relying on a bold motif.

How to use it

Use Orion Peat for a tailored sofa, occasional chair or headboard where its deep peat-brown tone can anchor a room. Pair it with warm timber, oatmeal linen and softly reflective metal to bring out the subtle brown and olive nuances.

Use this dark peat brown on tailored upholstery, balancing its subtle horizontal texture with lighter natural materials.

Pairs well with

Orion Peat 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.
