About this fabric

This colourway sits in a quiet beige range, with pale oat and sand notes that keep the surface feeling light rather than chalky. The visible weave has a fine, linen-like texture with delicate horizontal flecks, which gives the cloth a natural, slightly relaxed character. Supplied as a fabric with a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx and a width of 143cm approx, it has a clean, uninterrupted appearance suited to tailored interiors. Its composition of 60% viscose, 18% cotton, 17% linen and 5% acrylic supports the soft drape and gently tactile finish seen in the swatch.

How to use it

Use Durance Beige for elegant upholstery or Roman blinds where you want a calm, sun-washed neutral. Its warm undertone pairs especially well with timber, stone and muted olive accents.

A softly textured neutral that layers easily with natural woods and pale linens.

Pairs well with

Durance Beige 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.
