About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Selma Ble has a crisp, tactile handle and a fine all-over texture that catches the light without looking shiny. The repeat is effectively plain, with V 0cm / H 0cm approx, so the emphasis stays on the fabric’s small-scale woven surface rather than a printed motif. Its soft linen-cream tone feels warm and natural rather than stark, making it easy to place in both classic and contemporary schemes. With an approximate width of 140cm and fire code √BM, it is a practical choice for refined interior use.

How to use it

Use this gentle cream on relaxed upholstery, slim Roman blinds or full-length curtains where you want a calm, natural backdrop. It pairs especially well with oak, pale plaster, and deeper earthy accents that bring out its warm linen character.

A gently textured neutral that works across clean-lined upholstery and softly tailored curtains.

Pairs well with

Selma Ble 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.
