Oliver Beige

Hector FabricF4961-03

Oliver Beige reads as a calm, chalky linen with a fine herringbone-like texture and a very gentle woven stripe effect. The overall impression is warm but restrained, with enough detail in the weave to give the surface depth without breaking the neutral look.

About this fabric

This 100% linen fabric has a softly structured handle that suits both upholstery and drapery, with a repeat of V 0cm / H 4cm approx and a width of 144cm approx. In this colourway, the pale beige ground sits close to cream, lifted by subtle tonal variation that catches the light rather than reading flat. The narrow woven pattern creates a refined directional texture, giving the cloth a tailored finish that feels understated and elegant. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Oliver Beige on simple seat cushions, loose covers or elegant curtains where the quiet herringbone texture can read in natural light. It works especially well with sand, taupe and weathered oak for a soft, layered scheme.

A quietly tailored neutral that layers easily with timber, oak and deeper taupe accents.

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.
