About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and measuring approx. 139cm wide, Hector Gold has a natural handle and a neatly structured look suited to relaxed interiors. The swatch shows a pale gold-to-cream tone with a subdued, sun-warmed warmth that lifts the weave without reading brash or metallic. Its herringbone pattern is fine and restrained, giving the cloth a light textural movement rather than a strong motif. With a horizontal repeat of approx. 2cm and no vertical repeat, it will read as an orderly, low-key surface across larger applications. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code are useful specification details for an everyday decorative fabric.

How to use it

Use Hector Gold where you want a soft, luminous neutral that sits comfortably beside oak, limestone and muted painted finishes. It is especially good for blinds, relaxed curtains or upholstered pieces that need warmth without heaviness.

A warm neutral linen that feels elegant and easy to pair with natural woods or richer accent colours.

Pairs well with

Hector Gold 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.
