About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Hector Quartz has a crisp yet relaxed handle and a width of approximately 139cm. The small-scale vertical repeat and 2cm horizontal repeat create a subtle herringbone-style check that reads as texture first and pattern second. In this colourway, the blue is extremely light and cool, softened with a faint grey cast so it feels quiet rather than bright. The weave catches the light delicately, giving the surface a dry, natural linen look that suits both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Hector Quartz to bring a fresh, understated note to loose covers, upholstered headboards or simple curtains. Its pale blue tone pairs well with white paintwork, oak, and other softened neutrals.

A fresh, airy blue linen that works beautifully on light upholstery or soft, tailored curtains.

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.
