Arcata Linen

Alfresco Indoor Outdoor Weaves OutdoorCCF0796-05

Arcata Linen presents a close, irregular pebble-like pattern in pale stone against a muted taupe-grey ground. Its softly mottled appearance gives the colourway gentle depth without becoming visually busy.

About this fabric

This outdoor weave weighs 300gsm and has a usable width of 140cm, making it a practical mid-weight choice for upholstery. The small-scale motif is formed from light, rounded fragments outlined against the taupe-grey background, creating a subtly broken surface across the cloth. Its pattern repeat measures 21.5cm vertically and 36cm horizontally, allowing the pebble effect to remain consistently distributed. A 40m standard length is supplied for larger upholstery requirements.

How to use it

Use this cool, muted taupe-grey colourway on outdoor seating where its pale stone pattern can sit comfortably alongside weathered timber, grey stone or soft neutral cushions.

The muted taupe-grey ground and pale stone pebble pattern bring a softly textured, understated finish to outdoor upholstery.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Arcata Linen 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.
