Orion Ii Fabric

Orion Sea Mist is a quietly atmospheric textile in a deep, smoky taupe-grey. Its fine horizontal surface texture creates gentle tonal movement across the cloth rather than a completely flat finish.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Orion Sea Mist has a closely woven appearance with delicate horizontal striations running across the surface. The colour sits between cool grey and softened brown, giving the swatch a restrained, misted depth. Subtle shifts in tone appear through the weave, especially where the light catches the fine linear texture. Its unobtrusive surface makes the colour the defining feature while retaining enough visual interest to avoid looking plain.

How to use it

Use this cool taupe-grey on a tailored sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain where its muted depth can balance pale walls and warm natural timber. Add ivory, chalk and softened bronze nearby to bring out the colour's understated warmth.

Pair its cool, smoky taupe-grey tone with warm timber, ivory upholstery and brushed metal accents.

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.
