Palma Linen has a softly layered greige ground, crossed by narrow vertical checked bands and pale botanical forms. The low-contrast palette gives the swatch a quiet, chalky depth as the woven surface catches the light.

About this fabric

This 405gsm fabric combines a warm linen-beige base with ivory leaves and muted taupe-grey shading through the botanical motif. Slender vertical bands of small checked texture add structure behind the sweeping fronds, while the raised-looking tonal areas create gentle variation rather than a sharp contrast. At 129cm usable width, the fabric has a 32.5cm vertical repeat and 43cm horizontal repeat, making the scale clear when planning upholstery panels. Its standard length is 40m, and the substantial woven handle is well suited to upholstered furniture.

How to use it

Pair this softly warm greige colourway with natural timber, chalky whites and warm taupes to bring out its relaxed linen character. On an occasional chair or headboard, position the pale fronds against the vertical checked bands for a balanced, quietly decorative effect.

Use this softly shaded greige botanical for upholstered chairs, headboards or occasional seating with a calm, textural finish.

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.
