Davey Bone is a calm, bone-toned plain with a softly mottled linen-cotton surface that reads warm and understated. The close weave gives it a quiet, natural texture without obvious pattern.

About this fabric

Woven in 58% linen and 42% cotton, this fabric has the relaxed look of a natural cloth while still feeling neatly finished. The repeat is listed as V 0cm / H 0cm approx, confirming a plain design with no directional motif to interrupt the surface. In this colourway, the shade sits between cream and pale beige, with a gently warmed bone cast that feels softer than stark white. At 146cm approx wide, it is a practical cloth for a range of interior uses, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code adds useful everyday context for specification-led projects.

How to use it

Use Davey Bone where you want a light neutral that does not feel cold: it suits tailored upholstery, relaxed curtains, and crisp slipcovers. Its warm, low-contrast tone layers easily with oak, chalky paint colours, and deeper natural textures.

A quietly warm neutral that works beautifully on seats, curtains, and simple tailored finishes.

Pairs well with

Davey Bone is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
