About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen, this 140 cm (55") fabric has an even, small-scale texture visible across the swatch. The Smoke colour sits between cool grey and softened taupe, creating a subdued neutral rather than a bright or strongly warm beige. Its 28,000 Wyzenbeek Cotton Duck rub rating makes it suitable for upholstery as well as drapery. The tightly woven surface brings a natural, quietly tactile finish to the plain design.

How to use it

Use Knightsbridge Smoke on a tailored sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtains where its muted taupe-grey tone can soften stone, chalk and warm timber schemes. Pair it with darker charcoal or weathered wood for contrast while keeping the room understated.

A quietly textured taupe-grey linen for relaxed upholstery, curtains and tonal schemes.

Pairs well with

Knightsbridge Smoke 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.
