Villandry Weave White Opal

Damask FabricZOF0165-03

Villandry Weave White Opal has a pale ivory ground overlaid with softly defined greige damask ornament. The low-contrast colourway gives its formal floral pattern a quiet, chalky presence.

About this fabric

A symmetrical damask of urn-like floral forms, curling leaves and smaller blossoms repeats across the cloth in muted warm grey-beige. Against the white-opal ground, the motif reads softly rather than sharply, with the woven surface adding gentle tonal depth to the pale palette. At 380 gsm, with 118 threads per cm, this is a substantial woven fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. The usable width is 144.5 cm, and the design has a 51 cm vertical repeat and 48 cm horizontal repeat.

How to use it

Use White Opal on an occasional chair, headboard or full-length curtain where its ivory-and-greige balance can brighten the room without losing the formality of a traditional damask. It works especially well with warm whites, limestone, pale oak and understated antique finishes.

Pair this softly contrasting damask with warm ivory upholstery, pale timber and brushed metal for a calm, collected scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Villandry Weave White Opal without fighting it. 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.
