About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this Brooke Stripes colourway has the relaxed handle and natural slub you expect from a pure linen fabric. The stripe repeats vertically with no drop and an approximate 7.5cm horizontal repeat, giving the cloth a clean, orderly rhythm across a 140cm width. In this yellow version the bands read as soft butter cream and golden yellow, edged with delicate sage and taupe accents that keep the palette from becoming brash. It feels airy rather than saturated, with a gentle warmth that sits easily in both classic and contemporary schemes. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code are also noted for specification purposes.

How to use it

Use it for tailored curtains, loose covers or upholstered dining chairs where the pale yellow can brighten the room without overpowering it. It pairs well with painted woodwork, painted whites and mellow timber tones, especially in spaces that want a smart but easy country-house feel.

A fresh linen stripe that brings a gentle, sunny lift without feeling loud.

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.
