Hector FabricF4697-18

Hector Leaf reads as a calm, softly weathered sage with a subtle herringbone-like texture running across the cloth. The close, vertical rhythm gives the fabric a restrained checked appearance without overpowering the surface.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Hector Leaf has a dry, natural handle that suits both upholstery and drapery, with the 139cm approximate width offering practical coverage. The repeat is a discreet 0cm vertical and about 2cm horizontal, which creates the fine, regular herringbone/check effect visible in the image. Its colour sits in a muted sage-green range with a pale, chalky cast, so the pattern feels fresh rather than bright. The weave catches light gently, softening the contrast between the tiny angled lines and the ground for an understated, textural finish. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this colourway where you want a gentle green note that still feels tailored, especially on a neat armchair, blind or full-length curtain. It sits naturally with pale oak, putty neutrals and brushed metal finishes.

A quietly tailored sage that works beautifully on clean-lined upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

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