About this fabric

The design alternates broad taupe and ivory stripes, with the taupe reading as a soft, warm grey-beige rather than a strong brown. The close-up image shows a subtle woven grain that gently softens the crisp geometry, while the vertical lines continue without a vertical pattern break. At 301gsm and 140cm usable width, this is a versatile mid-weight textile suited to both upholstery and drapery. The pattern has a 9.5cm horizontal repeat and a 0cm vertical repeat, making the stripe direction visually continuous across the length.

How to use it

Use Portland Linen to bring gentle vertical rhythm to a pale, tonal scheme: it works particularly well on relaxed curtains, Roman blinds or occasional upholstery alongside warm ivory and natural taupe accents.

Use the soft taupe and ivory stripes to add quiet vertical structure to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

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