About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has a dry, natural handle that suits relaxed upholstery as well as curtains and lightweight soft furnishings. The herringbone motif is set in a narrow 2cm horizontal repeat with no vertical repeat, giving the surface a steady, orderly rhythm. In this colourway the green is subdued and earthy, sitting between sage and deep olive with a gentle weathered finish. At 139cm wide, it is a practical cloth for schemes that need texture without strong contrast.

How to use it

Use Hector Forest on an armchair, dining chair, or Roman blind where the quiet green can soften timber and stone. It pairs well with warm neutrals, aged brass, and pale linen tones.

A subtle green herringbone that brings quiet depth to tailored interiors.

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