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.

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.
