About this fabric

The 247gsm fabric has a tightly woven micro-herringbone texture, visible as tiny diagonal chevrons rather than a printed motif. Its taupe-grey colour sits between warm beige and soft grey, giving the surface a restrained, quietly layered appearance. Supplied at a usable width of 140cm, it offers a versatile mid-weight option for upholstery and drapery. The design has no vertical or horizontal pattern repeat, making it straightforward to position across a project.

How to use it

Use Claro Linen to bring a softened taupe-grey note to tailored seating, roman blinds or full-length curtains. Pair it with chalky whites, warm stone and muted timber for a calm, textural scheme.

A quietly tailored taupe-grey weave for upholstery, curtains and coordinated interiors.

Pairs well with

Claro Linen is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
