Otter is a warm, earthy mid-tone — somewhere between caramel and tan, with a richness that makes neutral feel genuinely interesting. The Tessellate geometric weave adds repeating surface detail that gives the fabric texture and depth without competing with the rest of the room. At 198 GSM, it drapes with easy, natural movement.
Otter is a color that sits comfortably in the warm-brown family without tipping into terracotta or burnt orange. Think of warm tan leather, dried grasses, or weathered timber — that's the territory Otter occupies. It's a grounding tone that pairs naturally with other earthy colors: warm ochres, muted greens, rust, and cream all sit happily alongside it. Against white or pale grey walls it reads as a considered color choice, warm and present without demanding attention.
The Tessellate geometric weave adds a quiet complexity to the Otter tone. The pattern repeat is very small — 0.5 cm horizontally and 1.2 cm vertically — which means the geometric design tiles almost continuously across the surface of the fabric. The effect is a woven depth within the color rather than a pattern with obvious repeats: you feel the texture before you see it, and the quality of the surface becomes more apparent the closer you get. At 198 GSM, the fabric drapes with a natural fluidity that suits both structured and relaxed room settings.
The Easy Clean range credentials apply across the full Tessellate collection. Spot clean everyday marks before they set. Machine wash at 40°C when a full refresh is needed. Near-Zero Shrinkage means the drop comes back exactly right. Spill & Stain Resistant, Odour Resistant, and Child & Pet Friendly treatment means these curtains are genuinely built for busy rooms.
Otter Tessellate curtains are a natural choice for rooms with an earthy, nature-influenced palette. Living rooms with rattan, wicker, or leather furniture, bedrooms with warm-toned bedding and timber accents, dining rooms with timber tables and natural fibre rugs — in all of these, Otter adds exactly the warmth that keeps a room feeling grounded and lived-in. It also works well in rooms where you want to introduce warmth into an otherwise cooler scheme.

Fabric Information
The Tessellate fabric is woven from 100% Polyester Filament — a fibre that delivers a consistently clean, even surface across the full panel. The Tessellate design uses a precise geometric repeat, a pattern of interlocking shapes that tiles seamlessly across the fabric from selvedge to selvedge. At close range the repeat has a neat, architectural quality; from across a room the overall surface reads as a rich, textured tone rather than an obvious repeating pattern.
At 198 GSM, this is a lighter fabric than the heavier Snow Storm or Regal Drapes ranges — but lighter doesn't mean insubstantial. The 100% Polyester Filament composition gives the weave a controlled structure that drapes cleanly and holds its shape across the full drop without support. Each panel is 140 cm wide. The pattern repeat is very small — just 0.5 cm horizontally and 1.2 cm vertically — which means the geometric texture is nearly continuous across the surface, with no visible break or reset in the pattern.
All Tessellate curtains are treated with the Easy Clean finish package: Spill & Stain Resistant surface coating, machine washable at 40°C, Near-Zero Shrinkage, Child & Pet Friendly performance, and Odour Resistant treatment. Day-to-day marks spot clean easily from the treated surface. For a full refresh, machine wash at 40°C and the curtain comes back to exactly the same drop, the same color, and the same precise fit as the day it arrived.

FAQs
1. What kind of rooms suit Otter Tessellate curtains?
Otter is most at home in rooms with an earthy, nature-influenced palette — think rattan or leather furniture, warm timber floors, natural fibre rugs, linen or cotton textiles. Living rooms and dining rooms benefit from Otter's grounding warmth. Bedrooms where a cosy, settled atmosphere is the goal are also a natural match. Because Otter sits in the warm brown-tan range without being too orange or too dark, it works as a neutral in these contexts while still reading as a color choice.
2. How does Otter compare to other warm neutrals in the Tessellate range?
Within the Tessellate range, Almond is the closest warm neutral — but Almond is lighter and more golden, sitting closer to cream. Otter is deeper and more saturated, sitting in the warm-brown-tan territory. It reads as a clear color choice where Almond reads as a warm neutral backdrop. If you want the curtain to contribute warmth and character to the room, Otter delivers that. If you want the curtain to disappear quietly, Almond or Putty is a better fit.
3. How do I care for Otter Tessellate curtains?
Spot clean minor marks with a damp cloth. Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle for a full refresh. Near-Zero Shrinkage brings the drop back exactly as it was. Line dry or low tumble dry, then low iron if needed. No bleach.
4. What heading types work best with Otter curtains?
All four heading types — Grommet, Tab Top, Rod Pocket, Sleeve Top — are available. For Otter in earthy, natural settings, Tab Top gives a relaxed, organic look that suits the warmth of the color. Grommet gives a cleaner, more structured wave. Rod Pocket and Sleeve Top suit traditional and track-mounted systems. The best choice depends on your existing hardware and the formality of the room.
5. Will Otter curtains fade in a sunny room?
The 100% Polyester Filament composition resists fading under normal domestic conditions. In rooms with strong, sustained direct sunlight, all fabrics will shift slightly over time — this is true of any curtain fabric regardless of fibre type. For very sun-exposed rooms, a lining adds UV protection for both the fabric and the furnishings behind it. For most household sun exposure, Otter holds its warm tone well through normal use and washing.
6. Does the Tessellate weave pattern work with other patterned furnishings?
The Tessellate repeat is so small — 0.5 × 1.2 cm — that it reads as an all-over texture rather than a visible pattern. This makes it very easy to use alongside other patterns in a room. It won't clash with a patterned sofa, rug, or wallpaper in the way that a large-repeat curtain design would. The texture adds richness to the room without competing with other pattern choices.
7. Can Otter Tessellate curtains be used in a bedroom?
Yes — Otter works well in bedrooms, particularly in rooms designed around natural, earthy materials. The warm tone creates a cosy, settled quality that's well-suited to a sleep space. These curtains are not rated blackout, so if full darkness is needed, a blackout lining should be requested at order. For general bedroom use — privacy, light diffusion, warmth — the Otter Tessellate is a strong choice.
