About this fabric

The muted taupe background reads warm and softly greige, while the chalk-white botanical tracery creates a clear but low-contrast pattern across the cloth. Slender branching stems, small leaves and oval pods are distributed at a medium scale, with the pod interiors showing delicate linear detail. At 353gsm, the fabric has a substantial mid-weight specification suited to both upholstery and drapery; its usable width is 133cm and standard length is 40m. The pattern repeats every 23.5cm vertically and 33cm horizontally.

How to use it

Use Honesty Linen to soften a reading chair, bench or roman blind, keeping the surrounding palette close to warm ivory, putty and pale timber so the chalk-white stems remain crisp against the taupe ground.

Use this softly taupe botanical for relaxed upholstery, cushions or full-length curtains with warm natural timber and chalky neutrals.

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.
