About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Hector in Oliver Gold has a fine, dry handle visible in the close-up weave and a restrained horizontal rhythm with an approximate 4cm repeat. The cloth reads as a soft gold cream, with tiny tonal shifts that give the surface depth without making the design feel busy. At approximately 144cm wide, it is a practical upholstery-and-drapery option where a lighter natural texture is wanted. The colourway feels airy and polished, with just enough warmth to soften pale interiors and enough texture to stop it looking flat. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are noted for the fabric.

How to use it

Use it on tailored upholstery, roman blinds or relaxed curtains when you want a pale warm neutral that still has visible weave. It sits especially well with oak, limestone and muted bronze details, where the soft gold tone will feel calm and elegant.

A pale gold linen with a subtle herringbone read that feels refined and easy to layer.

Pairs well with

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