About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Mia Silex has a natural, lightly slubbed surface that reads clean and understated in this colourway. The 140cm approximate width makes it practical for a wide range of interior projects, while the V 0cm / H 0cm repeat confirms its plain character. In the photo, the shade sits between cool grey and muted blue, giving the cloth a quietly architectural feel rather than a warm earth tone. The finish appears dry and breathable, with the weave catching light in fine vertical and horizontal threads. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for specification reference.

How to use it

Use this slate tone for tailored upholstery, pared-back cushions or relaxed curtains where a cool neutral is needed. It sits especially well with chalk whites, blackened metal and pale oak.

A quietly tailored linen that works beautifully across cushions, loose covers and relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Mia Silex is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
