About this fabric

The warm greige base has a muted, linen-like appearance, with subtle vertical and horizontal texture visible beneath the pattern. Ivory chevron-like lines form linked diamonds, while the small inset motifs shift between soft straw and a restrained dusty blush. At 313gsm, this is a substantial mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. The design has a 23.3cm vertical repeat and a 27.2cm horizontal repeat, with a 136cm usable width.

How to use it

Use this warm greige colourway to soften a pale, tonal scheme, or pair it with chalky ivory, oatmeal and natural timber. The restrained straw and blush accents can be picked up in cushions or small decorative details without disturbing its calm neutral effect.

A warm greige geometric that brings quiet structure to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

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