About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Hector has a natural slub and dry handle that show through in the subtle diagonal texture. The pattern has a vertical stripe effect with a horizontal repeat of approximately 2cm and no vertical repeat, creating a restrained rhythm across the cloth. In Pale Forest, the design looks like a softened green-grey, light enough to feel calm but with enough depth to keep the weave visible. At approximately 139cm wide, it is a versatile furnishing fabric for elegant schemes, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code are supplied for specification purposes.

How to use it

Use this colourway where you want a cool green that feels tailored rather than rustic, especially with pale oak, chalk white or brushed nickel. It would work well for Roman blinds, curtains, or clean-lined upholstery in a calm, classic room.

A cool, softly muted green that suits tailored curtains or relaxed upholstery alike.

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