About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Cabris Safran has a natural slubbed texture and a plain appearance with no visible repeat, so the weave itself provides the interest. The approx. 132cm width makes it practical for a range of interior projects, while the Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BH fire code add to its specification details. Visually, this colourway reads as a rich saffron with ochre depth rather than a bright yellow, so it feels grounded and textural. The surface catches the light unevenly, which softens the tone and gives it a lived-in, artisan character.

How to use it

This warm saffron shade works well on relaxed upholstery, Roman blinds or curtains where the linen texture can be seen in daylight. Pair it with chalky whites, weathered oak or deep brown accents to emphasise its earthy golden warmth.

A sunlit linen tone that brings warmth and texture to both tailored upholstery and soft curtains.

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.
