About this fabric

The colour sits between deep teal and blue-green, reading cool and atmospheric rather than bright or leafy. Close horizontal lines run across the swatch, creating subtle tonal variation as the light moves over the surface. The dense-looking weave gives Orion III Balsam a stable upholstery character, rather than the fluid appearance of a lightweight drapery cloth. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair this cool balsam teal with warm timber, soft stone and brushed metal to balance its depth. It is especially effective on a statement armchair, dining seat or tailored sofa where the fine weave can be seen up close.

Use this deep balsam teal to bring cool, understated depth to upholstered seating and occasional chairs.

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.
