How the Ombr\u00e9 Is Made<\/h2>\n
Each piece of Ondara is individually pleated and shaped by hand before any dye is applied. The fabric is then spray-dyed, so the colours bleed softly into one another. Because of the folds, the dye settles in a slightly different way each time, creating subtle tonal shifts that catch the light.<\/p>\n
The result is a soft, undulating double ombr\u00e9 running horizontally across the fabric. Expect gentle natural variation, which is part of the appeal of a hand-finished textile rather than a flaw.<\/p>\n
The Three Fabrics in the Collection<\/h2>\n\n- Ondara:<\/strong> the core wide-width fabric in 100% cotton, with a high Martindale rub count. It is designed for sweeping drapery and heavy-duty upholstery, such as wrapping a structured armchair.<\/li>\n
- Altura:<\/strong> a lighter sheer version, designed mainly for curtains. It diffuses daylight into a soft, hazy glow while carrying the ombr\u00e9 effect.<\/li>\n
- Altura Plain:<\/strong> a coordinating plain sheer, intended to sit behind Altura for a double-sheer window treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Singapore homes get strong daylight, especially on west-facing windows. Layering Altura in front of Altura Plain softens glare and adds privacy during the day while keeping rooms bright. Add a blackout or dimout curtain behind for bedrooms. Our sheer curtain guide<\/a> explains how to balance light and privacy.<\/p>\nFloor-to-ceiling drapery<\/h3>\n
Because the ombr\u00e9 runs horizontally, full-height Ondara curtains create a band of colour that shifts as the fabric folds, a calm focal point for a living room with high ceilings or wide windows.<\/p>\n
Statement upholstery<\/h3>\n
On a single armchair or a bench, Ondara’s gradient becomes a piece of art. Choose a simple, structured frame so the fabric does the talking, and pair it with plain or textured neutrals elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Calm bedrooms<\/h3>\n
Use Ondara for curtains or a headboard in soft horizon tones, and keep the rest of the scheme quiet with natural linens and pale timber.<\/p>\n
Practical Tips<\/h2>\n\n- Allow for variation:<\/strong> because each piece is hand-pleated and spray-dyed, order enough fabric for the whole project at once.<\/li>\n
- Check direction:<\/strong> confirm how the ombr\u00e9 should run on curtains and upholstery before cutting.<\/li>\n
- Protect from sun:<\/strong> use a sheer or blind to protect upholstery and curtains from strong afternoon sun.<\/li>\n
- Clean gently:<\/strong> vacuum lightly, blot spills promptly and follow the fabric care guide. Use professional cleaning for curtains and upholstery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

An ombr\u00e9 fabric shades gradually from one colour or tone to another. Ondara is a double ombr\u00e9, made by hand-pleating each piece before spray-dyeing, so the colours blend softly across the width of the fabric.<\/p>\n
Can Ondara be used for upholstery?<\/h3>\n
Yes. The core Ondara fabric is 100% cotton with a high Martindale rub count and is designed for heavy-duty upholstery as well as drapery. Altura and Altura Plain are sheers, intended mainly for curtains.<\/p>\n
How do I layer Altura and Altura Plain?<\/h3>\n
Hang Altura Plain on the track closest to the window and Altura in front of it. The plain sheer adds privacy and softens light, while the ombr\u00e9 sheer carries the colour.<\/p>\n
