Silken Burnt Orange

Silken Burnt Orange presents a deep, earthy orange with the mellow character of fired terracotta. Its plain surface is softly shaded, revealing gentle tonal movement rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

This colourway is catalogued as a Fabric, with no performance features noted. The swatch shows a close, softly brushed-looking face with faint vertical grain and low-contrast variation across the surface. Its burnt orange tone leans rust and brown at the edges of the shading, giving the colour depth without making it appear bright or sugary. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Silken Burnt Orange on a statement chair, headboard or occasional sofa where its warm rust depth can anchor a room. Pair it with warm ivory, tobacco leather, walnut and aged brass to reinforce the colourway’s earthy, softly burnished character.

Use this deep burnt orange as a warm statement upholstery tone against natural wood, chalky neutrals or darker brown accents.

Pairs well with

Silken Burnt 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.
