Hector Slate is a cool, quietly tailored linen with a fine herringbone-inspired texture and a soft slate-blue cast. The weave gives the surface a restrained, almost chalky depth that keeps the colour feeling fresh rather than heavy.

About this fabric
Woven in 100% linen and offered at approximately 139cm wide, Hector Slate has a small 2cm horizontal repeat and a vertical repeat of 0cm. The cloth reads as a pale slate blue with a faint grey undertone, softened by the dry, natural handle of linen and the tight, regular weave. Its fine herringbone effect adds movement without making the design busy, so the pattern feels subtle from a distance and more textural up close. The overall impression is cool, calm and neatly ordered, which suits interiors that need colour without strong contrast.
How to use it
Use this slate-blue colourway on relaxed curtains, tailored Roman blinds or accent upholstery where you want a clean, coastal note. It pairs especially well with white woodwork, pale oak and brushed metal finishes.
A cool slate-blue linen that feels crisp and quietly tailored.

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.
