Malham Linen pairs a warm greige ground with delicate ivory scrolling motifs arranged in an airy, repeating lattice. The fine linework stands gently proud against the linen-look surface, giving the colourway a softly defined finish.

About this fabric

At 494gsm, Malham Linen has the substantial weight expected of an upholstery textile rather than a light, fluid cloth. Its warm taupe-grey ground is softened by ivory looped floral sprays, creating a muted contrast that remains visible without feeling stark. The design repeats every 23cm vertically and 21.5cm horizontally, giving the medium-scale pattern a consistent rhythm across a chair, headboard or sofa. A 137cm usable width and 40m standard length provide practical coverage for upholstery planning.

How to use it

Use the warm greige tone on a tailored armchair, ottoman or sofa where the ivory linework can read clearly across the upholstery. Pair it with chalky ivory, natural timber and softly weathered taupe accents to echo the gentle contrast in the swatch.

Use this warm greige upholstery fabric to bring softly structured pattern and subtle contrast to seating.

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