Phoebe Linen Cream

Phoebe Linen Cream is a light, sheer-style fabric with a fine lattice of small linked circles across a soft cream ground. The taupe motif sits gently on the surface, giving the cloth an airy, understated patterning.

About this fabric

Woven in 80% linen and 20% cotton, Phoebe Linen Cream has the soft handle and natural texture you would expect from a linen-rich sheer. The repeat is approximately V 3cm / H 3cm, creating a neat, small-scale geometric rhythm that reads clearly without feeling busy. In this colourway, the cream background is warm rather than stark, while the taupe detailing stays subtle and diffused, so the overall effect is calm and refined. The width is approximately 134cm, and the care code is Q 8 + T 3 with fire code Z.

How to use it

Use this shade where you want daylight filtered softly rather than blocked, especially with pale timber, oak flooring, or chalky painted walls. Its muted cream and taupe palette layers easily with stone, parchment, and linen upholstery.

A quiet, airy sheers fabric that works beautifully for layered curtains in calm, neutral interiors.

Pairs well with

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