About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Cabris Grege has an airy, lightly slubbed handle and a plain appearance with no repeat, so the texture itself provides the interest. The colour sits between beige and grey, with a warm, restrained cast that feels gentle rather than stark. At approx. 132cm wide, it is a versatile fabric for curtains, loose covers or upholstery where a natural, unforced look is desired. The overall effect is softly elegant and easy to layer with oak, chalky paint finishes and deeper taupe accents.

How to use it

Use this greige shade for relaxed curtains, tailored cushions or a simple upholstered chair where you want texture more than contrast. It is especially effective in rooms with warm woods, limestone or muted painted walls.

A quiet neutral that works beautifully as a clean backdrop or paired with darker timber and stone.

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.
