Abelia Linen has a softly crumpled surface in a pale greige tone, creating a quiet, mineral-like texture across the cloth. Its subtle light-and-shadow variation gives the otherwise gentle colour added depth.

About this fabric

At 580gsm, Abelia Linen is a substantial fabric suited to upholstery, with enough visual weight for seating and other structured applications. The 140cm usable width provides practical coverage, while the surface shows no defined vertical or horizontal pattern repeat, recorded as 0cm in both directions. Fine, irregular creases run across the pale linen-like ground, appearing slightly cooler in the shadows and softly illuminated on the raised areas. A standard length of 30m makes it suitable for coordinated upholstery projects requiring a consistent run.

How to use it

Pair this pale greige colourway with chalky whites, warm oak and soft stone shades for a calm, textural room scheme. Its restrained tone works especially well on relaxed occasional chairs, sofas or upholstered bedheads where the crinkled surface can catch the light.

Use this heavy, tactile pale greige textile to bring softly crumpled texture to upholstered seating and headboards.

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