About this fabric

The swatch reads as a soft shell shade, sitting between warm ivory and very light greige rather than a stark white. Fine horizontal lines run across the surface, with tiny crosswoven variations adding restrained texture and depth. The close, even construction gives the fabric a neat, considered appearance while keeping the overall colourway light and understated. Ora Shell’s near-plain design allows its subtle woven texture to provide the visual interest.

How to use it

Pair this softly warm shell colour with natural oak, chalky whites and pale taupes for a calm, layered scheme. Its quiet horizontal texture can lighten larger upholstered pieces while retaining a smart, tailored feel.

Use this pale shell tone to bring a quiet, softly textured finish to upholstered seating, cushions or curtains.

Pairs well with

Ora Shell 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.
