About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has a small-scale check with a repeat of approximately V 1cm / H 1cm and a width of approximately 152cm. The rose tones are gently muted, sitting over a light ground so the pattern reads delicate and fresh rather than bold. Its fine, even texture gives the cloth a crisp but relaxed character, with the pink softened by natural linen variation. The overall effect is light and slightly timeworn, which suits schemes that need warmth without heaviness.

How to use it

Use it on occasional upholstery, cushions, or slim curtains where the soft rose check can add pattern without dominating the room. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale oak, and other washed-out neutrals.

A delicate linen check that brings a gentle rosy warmth to classic or country schemes.

Pairs well with

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