About this fabric

Large, softly edged forms create an abstract pattern that shifts between deep blue, blue-green, warm rust, taupe, cream and dark plum. The cloth is shown gathered into folds, revealing a supple handle and gentle changes in tone where the surface catches the light. Its fluid fall makes it particularly suited to drapery, where the folds can animate the oversized shapes. This is catalogued as a fabric from Warwick’s Penumbra collection; no further specification data is supplied.

How to use it

Use Penumbra Orient for full-length curtains or relaxed Roman blinds, pairing its cool teal and navy with warm taupe walls and restrained rust accents. Keep surrounding upholstery relatively plain so the large-scale shapes remain the room’s main visual feature.

Use its muted teal, navy, rust and taupe palette for full-length curtains in a room with warm neutral furnishings.

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.
