Selma Acier reads as a softly weathered greige, with a cool grey cast and gentle beige warmth balanced across the weave. Its small, pebble-like texture gives the surface a calm, tailored look.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Selma Acier has a compact textured structure that feels crisp rather than lofty, with the weave sitting neatly and evenly across the cloth. The colour is a muted acier grey softened by beige undertones, so it looks cooler in shadow and warmer where the light catches the raised yarns. With a width of approximately 140cm and no repeat to interrupt the surface, it is easy to use on simple upholstery pieces or clean-lined soft furnishings. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code provide the practical specification expected of a decorative fabric with a refined, natural handle.

How to use it

Use Selma Acier on an armchair, banquette or loose cushions when you want a restrained neutral with visible texture. It pairs especially well with oak, chalky paintwork and deeper charcoal accents, where its greige tone keeps the room feeling composed.

A versatile linen neutral that adds quiet texture without overpowering a room.

Pairs well with

Selma Acier 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.
