About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this Florenza Sheers fabric has the breezy, slightly slubbed character you expect from a true sheer, with the stripe sitting cleanly across the cloth. The repeat is vertical only at approx. 0cm, with an approx. 12cm horizontal stripe spacing, which gives the pattern a simple, architectural cadence. In this colourway the blue is muted and cool, closer to weathered denim or faded stonewashed indigo than a bright sky tone. The generous approx. 290cm width makes it especially practical for wide curtains and elegant drop lengths. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code Z are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use it at tall windows where the pale blue stripes can filter daylight and add gentle definition. It pairs well with chalky whites, weathered oak and other cooled neutrals.

Use for airy curtains or blinds where the pale blue stripe can soften a room without feeling heavy.

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.
